The broadcast said the anti-Ba'athist coup was headed by President Abdel Salam Aref, who heads the new government and simultaneously became chief of staff of the army. The radio announced an immediate curfew and warned that violators of it will be shot on sight.

Revolt Failed Wednesday The coup came only five days after an attempted revolt last Wednesday in which a moderate faction of the Ba'athists beat back a right-wing power grab. Aref himself came on Baghdad radio to announce the coup. "Our military forces have just taken control of the Iraq capital and will deal with any opposition," he said. National Guard Liquidated Aref announced that the nation's national guard, considered pro-Ba'athist, will be liquidated. The guard was earlier reported anxious for the Ba'athist extremist leader, Deputy Premier Ali Saleh al Saadi, to return here from his Madrid exile.

Al Saadi and four top lieutenants were banished from Iraq last week. The abortive coup followed a few hours later and apparently was led by Al Saadi's supporters. The military cut off all communications from Baghdad with the outside world and closed all Iraqi newspapers. Aref Toppled Kassem Aref led the coup last February that toppled the Iraqi dictatorship of Abdel Karim Kassem and put the Ba'athists in power. That coup was followed a month later by a Ba'athist revolt which triumphed in Syria, giving the International Continued on pige 4, col.

6 CALLS IT HINT RUSSIANS FEARED LEAKS TO YALE PROF BY ARTHUR VEYSEY London Bureau Chief Chicago Tribune Press Service LONDON, Nov. 17 Russian police who arrested Prof. Frederick Barghoorn knew what they were doing. His detention for 16 days in Moscow's Lub-yanka prison was no accident. The professor, who flew home after a fitful night's sleep at a friend's apartment in London, is confident of these conclusions.

From the moment he was whisked off the street near the Metropole hotel in the evening of Oct. 31, his identity was known to his captors. Seized on Street The very manner of his arrest made clear to him he was a man the Russians wanted. As he left the hotel and walked along the street, going to his final appointment before leaving the Soviet Union the next day, plain clothes security men fell in on either side, they grasped him firmly under each arm and said to him in Russian, "Come with us, Prof. Barghoorn." The motive for his arrest is still not clear.

The published soviet charge of wanting him as a spy is regarded here as a coverup. A much more likely reason is a brash Russian attempt to use the professor, an expert on soviet affairs, to lead them to any soviet citizens who might be leaking information to him. Reds Search Thoroly Supporting this conclusion is the fact that his personal belongings, papers, books, and clothes, were searched during his 16-day incarceration. No attempt was made to conceal the thoroness of the search. For instance, the lining of his London-made felt hat was removed Continued on page 2, col.

5 SITTER, 17, SAVES 4 IN FIRE WITH BEDSHEETROPE Ovid, N. Nov. 17 UP)' A quick-thinking baby sitter made a rope of sheets and a bedspread today to escape with four youngsters from a burning house. The baby sitter, Jo Anne Reagan, 17, tied one end of the rope to a heavy chair in a second-floor bedroom. She told 4-year-old Henry Brown and his brother Thomas, 2, to cling to the rope, and she lowered them 15 feet from a window, firemen said.

Then a neighbor, James Wyckoff, arrived. Miss Reagan followed his instruction to lower herself by the rope "and run to a nearby home to call firemen. Wyckoff then climbed the rope, got 5-month-old Edward Brown and his sister, Joanne, 3, and carried them down the makeshift rope. The children's parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Henry Brown, were at work at nearby Willard State hospital, where both are attendants. Report Margaret Is Expecting Baby LONDON, Nov. 17 (UPD The Sunday Express said today there were "strong rumors that Princess Margaret was expecting a baby next year. SNIPER SLAYS SECRETARY THRU HOME WINDOW New York, Nov. 17 (If) Glenda Unterreiner, 26, a St.

Louis, native who had worked in New York City just six weeks as a law firm secretary, was shot to death by a sniper tonight as she sat in her rented room in Queens. Police said the trajectory of the shot indicated that her assailant was on or near the tracks of the Long Island railroad which run about 50 feet from her window. Miss Unterreiner, who worked for the Manhattan law firm of Nolte and Nolte, was dressed in pajamas and apparently was setting her hair at a vanity table when the shot came thru the window, police said. The bullet hit her under the left arm and penetrated her heart. She apparently staggered into the hallway for help, but was dead when police arrived.

Oklahoma Gov. Bellmon Slips, Injures Shoulder Tulsa, Nov. 17 UP) Gov.

He was hospitalized overnight and canceled his trip.

BY GEORGE STRICKLER (Pictures on back page) Under the overcast in Wrig-ley field yesterday, the Team of Destiny rose up in all its muscular might to hammer the regal Green Bay Packers into ignominious defeat and into second place in the western division of the National Football league. Four field goals by a reserve lineman, Roger Leclerc, a spectacular 27-yard run by Veteran Halfback Willie Galimore, a 5-yard rollout by Quarterback Bill Wade, and two extra points by Rookie Bob Jencks brought the Chicago Bears one of the most important and dramatic triumphs in their history by the decisive margin of 26 to 7. Early Result No Fluke Forty-nine thousand one hundred and sixty-six fans crammed into the north side ball park and countless millions before television sets from coast to coast sat almost unbelieving as the Bears ran the once haughty champions into submission for the second time this season, eliminating any and all doubt about the genuineness of their 10 to 3 conquest in Green Bay in the opening game of the season. It was the Bears' ninth triumph in 10 starts and made them a favorite to represent the western division in the championship playoff for the first time since 1936. From the opening kickoff, when J.

C. Caroline upended Herb Adderley with a savage pick-off tackle, until the final play on which Roosevelt Taylor made a diving, shoe-string interception of a pass, the underdog Bears relentlessly carried the fight to the foe, on offense as well as defense. Bear Offense Surprise Green Bay never was in the game. Except for its touchdown late in the last quarter, and an interference penalty that gave it a first down on the Bears' 24-yard line late in the second period, Vince Lombardi's onetime wonder machine never passed the Bears' 38-yard line. This had been billed as a I Continued on page 1, Sports 5 Np3 CROWD 49,166 rr DTE Kir: Back in U.

He Denies Russian Spy Charges New Haven, Nov. 17 (UPD Yale Prof. Frederick C. Barghoorn returned home today and said he may never know Prof. Barghoorn at newt con ference in New Haven, Conn.

why he was arrested and imprisoned in Moscow on spy charges. "Under soviet law one can be accused of conducting intelligence activities merely by walking down the street," Barghoorn, 52, said after his release from 16 days in a soviet jail. He insisted, however, he was not involved in any intelligence activity. Accused of Spying Barghoorn flew from London to New York aboard a commercial jet liner, then was flown to his home here aboard a char- PROF'S STATEMENT Text of Prof. Barghoorn's statement is on page 2.

tered plane. He held a press conference tonight at the university. The professor, an expert on soviet affairs, said he was accused by the Russians of spying during each of his several trips to the Soviet Union. This time, he said, "I was so careful I did not visit a soviet home or talk more than a few minutes with a member of the opposite sex." Barghoorn said that he had never taken a camera into Russia. President Kennedy Intervenes The educator was arrested Oct.

31 in Moscow. He was 1 freed yesterday "in view of the personal concern expressed by President Kennedy," soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gro-1 myko said. Barghoorn said at the outset of the press conference there were certain "strange and bi-1 zarre aspects" of his case which he would not discuss. Barghoorn, attached to the political science department at Yale, held a reunion earlier with his widowed mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Barghoorn, 80, in the apartment here she shares with her bachelor son.

Red Police Suspicious "Behavior which we regard as completely innocent becomes an object of police suspicion" in Russia, the professor said. Barghoorn said he wanted to "emphasize my deep gratitude to President Kennedy fo his concern in my behalf for his vigorous intervention in tbe matter. The professor said that while imprisoned he read Pravda, the Communist party paper, which be said did not carry the I full story of his arrest Hii but some fell at Sky Harbor airport.
