...jowled prophet's absolute mastery of his own tight sectarian world of Zion City, Ill., on the lake shore 40 mi. north of Chicago. Owner of its communal industries and General Overseer of its Christian Catholic Church, Prophet Voliva banned tobacco, liquor, cinemas, profanity, immodest dress and chewing gum from his realm and ruled its 6,000 inhabitants body & soul...
