...Cleveland Bailey, 76, whose main claim to fame during nearly 20 years on the Hill is having once thrown a punch at Harlem's Representative Adam Clayton Powell (too soft to inflict permanent damage). Bailey is engaged in a desperate fight in a newly created district against popular Arch Alfred Moore, 39, the state's lone Republican in Congress.

Echoes Harold H. Helm, chairman of Chemical Bank New York Trust Co., an arch Chase Manhattan rival: "David is an effective, able all-round banker, who makes keener competition for us because of his ability."
