ZION CITY HEAD THINKS EARTH FLAT
Leaves Tonight for Tour Of Europe and Africa

New York, Jan. 25 (uP1-Wilbur Glenn Voliva. general overseer of Zion City. Ill, sets forth tonight to travel over a considerable part Of the earth that he conceives to be flat.
 short Time to Live
 Although he is certain that with la a short time" most of the world will be destroyed, Voliva IS planning to remain abroad until June 3. and is hopeful that catastrophe will not overtake the pancakelike earth be- fore that date.
 Interviewed at his hotel today, Voliva was enthusiastic over the va cation that comes after 2s years Of work. He leaves behind him . bakery business and flock of 5000 at Zion City, and will voyage with his wife. Patrick R. Mcintosh, his personal aide and Theodore Fordy. his counsel. To See Pyramids
 His Itinerary will take him to Portugal, Spain. Northern Africa. Greece, the Holy Land, Egypt, Italy, Germany. and Paris. His principal deside. he said. was to view the great pyramid of Gizeh. which "pre- diets all the great happenings of his tory"
 The pyramid. he pointed out, "foretold the dates of the beginning and end of the world war and now assures us of the approaching end of things"
 ', Factors Involved Upheavals of nature. universal sim fulness. and church lawlessness masked in the name of modernism are other factors hasteninE the worlds destruction. he said. In fact, the world lis going to Satan on . toboEgan slide.'
 A dispatch rom Chicago quoted volvia as having said he was cruis- ing forth to prove that the earth Is flat.
 That Is not true" he said. T know that the earth is flat and there | IS uCcQ IOl HE AO pAoNO ~ AhS stationary plane theory has been es- tablished for all but the wilfully blind to see"
 Earth Stands
 No one falls of the earth. he ex- plained. because it spreads out until it meets the ocean and that spreads out until it meets icy. impenetrable mountains. The earth stands still and the sun moves China is not on the other side of the globe. purely because there is no globe, Aviation feats, such as that Of the Norge. only go to prove the theory of flat ness.
 Volivia commented ,nterestedly on topics of the day. He described com. panionate marriage and praised the volstead act. Herbert Hoover, he believes. will be the next president.
