Rabbi Charles E. Hillel Kauvar of Denver was honored on the occasion of his thirtieth anniversary as Rabbi of the Beth Ha Medrosh Hagodol Congregation.
The body of a young woman, who committed suicide in her apartment here last Thursday, was identified this morning as Sanaide Volokov, the daughter of Leon Trotsky, the exiled Soviet leader, now living on the island of Prinkipo, in Turkey.
She was the wife of a Soviet leader, Volokov, who was exiled to Siberia by the Soviet authorities.
The body of Madame Volokov was found in a gas filled room. She left a note attributing her suicide to illness and asking that her six-year old son be cared for. She was thirty-two years old.
It is known that Madame Volokov suffered from tuberculosis. The concierge of the apartment house, however, expressed the view that she took her life following a romance with a young Russian living in Berlin.
Trotsky’s son, Serjosha, who is a student at the Polytechnic Institute here, informed the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that his sister committed suicide when the police threatened to cancel her permit to stay in Germany.
Madame Volokov’s son has been given over to the custody of his uncle.
