Monday, Feb. 01, 1982

BORN. To Alexander Karageorgevitch, 36, Washington, D.C., insurance executive and son of the late King Peter II, last monarch of Yugoslavia, and Maria da Gloria, 35, great-great-granddaughter of Pedro II, Brazil's last Emperor: twin sons, their second and third children; in Falls Church, Va. Names: Philip and Alexander.

DIED. Semyon Tsvigun, 64, first deputy chairman of the KGB and its highest ranking career officer. In 42 years with the Soviet security and intelligence forces, Tsvigun rose from provincial postings to the capital, where he was promoted to full general in 1978, and full member of the Central Committee in 1981. Tsvigun occasionally wrote for ideological journals, reflecting the official view that all dissents from official dogma were threats to state security and were "intrigues of imperialist intelligence."

DIED. Eduardo Frei Montalva, 71, former President of Chile (1964-70) and longtime leader of its Christian Democratic Party; from complications after an operation; in Santiago. A symbol of the U.S. determination in the 1960s to prevent Communist takeovers in Latin America and achieve reforms democratically, Frei won the 1964 election against self-professed Marxist Salvador Allende Gossens with considerable help from the CIA, but his efforts at reform were thwarted.

DIED. Edward Simmons ("Ned") Irish, 76, founder and past president of the New York Knickerbockers basketball team, who was also largely responsible for promoting college basketball into a major arena sport; of a heart attack; in Venice, Fla. In 1934 he launched the first regular-season college basketball doubleheader at New York's Madison Square Garden, and went on to run its successful college basketball program. In 1946 Irish helped set up what eventually became the National Basketball Association.

DIED. Leopold Leib Trepper, 77, a Polish-born Jew and longtime Communist who in the late 1930s and early 1940s led a 290-member spy network for the Soviet Union that was known to the Germans as the "Red Orchestra"; in Jerusalem. The Nazis smashed the Red Orchestra in 1942-43, and one Hitler aide later estimated that the espionage ring had cost 200,000 German soldiers' lives. At war's end, Trepper was rewarded by the Soviets with a ten-year prison term. Released in 1955, he returned to Poland and was permitted in 1974 to emigrate to Israel.

DIED. Frank Baxter, 85, retired professor of English at the University of Southern California, whose Shakespeare on TV, a series of lively lectures on the Bard, drew huge audiences in the 1950s and 1960s and won him several awards, including seven Emmys; of a heart attack; in San Marino, Calif.
