Man Sought in Anvil Bar Slaying

NEW YORK, September 15-Police are still looking for information connected to the fatal stabbing of a Queens man early Friday morning in a popular Greenwich Village after-hours bar.

The victim, Jeffrey Crawford, of 83-37 Saint James Avenue, Jackson Heights, Queens, died at approximately 8:30 a.m., shortly after receiving a single knife wound in the stomach.

Though information regarding the incident is still vague, police are looking for a white male around 30 years of age, about 6' or 6'1", with brown wavy hair, and a mustache. Witnesses described his dress at the time as blue jeans, a brown leather jacket, and white sneakers with black stripes.

According to Detective Donald Baeszler of Manhattan Homicide, Crawford had apparently gone alone to the Anvil Bar at 14th Street and Eleventh Avenue, sometime after 4 a.m., the time when most patrons of this bar usually arrive. Over a period of approximately three

hours, Crawford and his assailant had a continuing verbal argument, but no physical altercation allegedly took place prior to the assault. At about 8:30 a.m. Crawford was standing near the bar when the other man produced a large butcher knife and stabbed him. Crawford then stumbled out the door and collapsed onto Eleventh Avenue, where he died before help could arrive. Some of the bar patrons gave chase to Crawford's assailant, who had followed his victim out, but he managed to escape on foot.

Witnesses said that they had seen the murderer in the Anvil prior to Friday night, but he was not a regular patron. However, he was also seen dancing earlier that evening with men who appeared to know him.

Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact Detective Donald Baeszler of Manhattan Homicide, 4777444, or Alan Bell of GAYSWEEK, 9297720. The strictest confidence will be observed by both parties.-Phil Carey =

Richmond Wins Dem Primary Battle

BROOKLYN, September 14 (City News)-A well-financed campaign, a reputation as an effective congressman and a relatively light turnout of black voters were cited yesterday as the reasons for Fred Richmond's Democratic primary victory despite his recent arrest on morals charges.

Richmond, a 54-year-old millionaire who represents Brooklyn's 14th Congressional District, defeated Bernard Gifford, a black former deputy school chancellor, after a bitter race in which Richmond's arrest became a major issue.

The congressman's margin of victory in Tuesday's primary was surprisingly large. He captured 51 percent of the vote, compared to 32 percent for Gifford. Two other contenders trailed far behind.

The Richmond-Gifford contest, which attracted national attention, highlighted the primaries in 11 of the state's 39 congressional districts, which saw incumbents win renomination.

In the 9th District in Queens, Geraldine Ferraro, a former assistant district attorney, upset the favorite, City Councilman Thomas Manton, to win the Democratic nomination for the seat held by James Delaney, the retiring dean of the New York congressional delegation. Ferraro will face a tough challenger, Assemblyman Alfred DelliBovi, who has the Republication and Conservative lines.

In another hard-fought city race, Carter Burden, a former city councilman and Vanderbilt heir, defeated former Rep. Allard Lowenstein for the Democratic nomination for Manhattan's 18th, or Silk Stocking, District. Burden, who won by nearly 2000 votes, will face the Republican incumbent, S. William Green, who is also a millionaire, in November for the seat formerly held by Mayor Edward I. Koch.

Last April, Richmond's political career seemed in jeopardy when he announced he had been arrested in Washington for sexually soliciting a 16-year-old black youth. The charges were dropped when he agreed to undergo professional treatment under a first-offenders program.

Richmond mounted a well-organized campaign, spent $200,000, a lavish sum in a Congressional primary, and obtained endorsements from Mayor Koch, Council President Carol Bellamy and the Brooklyn Democratic organization.

Professional politicians said that Richmond capitalized on his reputation for being a hardworking and effective congressman.

"The reason we won is simple," said Lou Gordon, a Richmond aide. "The people judged him on his life's work and were willing to overlook his personal problems."

margins in Brooklyn Heights, the liberal part of his district; in Williamsburg and Fort Greene, which has an orthodox Jewish and black population; and in Northside and Greenpoint, which are predominantly Polish and Slavic. His margins in these areas offset his loss in the black districts of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights, where the turnout was relatively light.

Apuzzo Down, but Not Out of Race

BROOKLYN, September 13-At 10:30 on Primary night, September 12, Virginia Apuzzo conceded her loss of the Democratic nomination to the New York State Assembly from the 57th AD to incumbent Harvey Strelzin.

As she spoke, 30 or more of her loyal supporters and campaign workers who had gathered inside the DeKalb Avenue Campaign Headquarters listened.

"I have always wondered what candidates said to their staffs upon losing the race," said Apuzzo. "Well now that moment is upon me and I don't have to query about it anymore. I am disappointed, but I don't feel sad. Looking around this room at all of my friends and staunch supporters, all of whom I am lucky enough to have on my staff, I find that I cannot feel a sense of loss. I do feel a great deal of egotistical pride and happiness because of your unrelenting support of me. And I want to thank you for all of this, and for everything. But the fight is not over."

Apuzzo told her staff that she intended to confer with Alexis Miranda and Velmenette Montgomery, her other two primary opponents, about forming a coal-

ition to defeat Strelzin in November. During the Primary, the three women became friends.-Marlene Williams.
