Texas C.S.693-3777 The history of Charles Dederich is becoming a familiar tale; it is the story of an odd California messiah and his beleaguered believers, and of power over human minds. Like the others who are making the type a staple of American head lines, he began as a savior, appar ently driven to help the wretched people. They flocked to him, followed him and built an empire for him — Sytia- non. Fame and charisma brought converts by the hundreds. But like the others, after the years of idealistic striving came the years of increasing strangeness. The empire retreated into closed communities, physical and philosophical fortres ses. The 20-year history of Synanon is the story of Charles Dederich, a be efy, pugnacious-looking man of blunt charm. In recent years he called Synanon, which began as a treatment for dope addicts, "religion with a small V,” He called himself, perhaps jokingly, "the pope of Synanon. ” Former members, many of whom had devoted years of their lives to living in and building Synanon communes, are the most vociferous critics of the group today and the source of most of the stories of bizarre behavior in the cult. Their stories include obligatory head-shaving for both men and wo men, compulsory divorces, mar riages, abortions, sterilizations and vasectomies, a paramilitary force of a reported 150 "imperial marines. ” ar senals of guns, and vengeance at tacks on lists of enemies and former members. Although he announced his re tirement as “board chairman" earlier this year, saying his daughter, Jady, 27, was taking over, former mem bers said he was still the most power ful voice in the group. Dederich, raised a Catholic in To ledo, Ohio, came to California in the mid-1940s and spent 10 years as an alcoholic. When he sobered up in 1956 through Alcoholics Anonym ous, he went forth to save others as he had been saved. From the A A method of self confrontation and Dederich s lec tures and dressing-downs evolved “the game,” the core of the Synanon experience. It worked only too well. Synanon, tax exempt and sup ported by hundreds of enthusiastic workers, swiftly grew very wealthy, opening gas stations, a bakery and other businesses. Its new chic status brought in a whole new type of member. These members were not addicts. They were persons, sometimes whole families and often from 7" background* , h , waulictl the same" aaid wanted to get into the the communal life, R I hen Synanon bought rand, I north of San Francisco ^ ^1 closed communities. *■ The group began chattgi^l many ways, former membeni . r \v 7 ' ^!> * ; a ‘ the « rou P had a™; $63,000 in guns and was 150-man security force to deal, hostile "outsiders."
