Pat Paulsen Withdraws From Presidential Race By BILL GRAHAM It 1954, it was Tuesday night at the Convention Center it was packed to what possibly was its largest crowd to date, and Elvis Presley came on strong with Be and More than 10,500 persons were crowded into every available seat in the arena, and when Elvis finally appeared on the small stage, the cheers of the crowd were deafening and the thousands of flashbulbs lit the darkened arena like a flood- lamp.

HOLLYWOOD (AP) -Comedian Pat Paulsen announced Tuesday he is withdraw'ing from the Republican presidential race because of a Federal Communications Commission ruling that prohibits him from appearing on television as a performer as long as he is a candidate. Paulsen, who conducted a 0 e-in-cheek presidential candidacy in 1968, had maintained that his candidacy was serious this year and that those who heard him speak that I was a candidate who owed no political favors and was unafraid of losing He ran in the New Hampshire primaiy where he made a poor showing. But, he said in a letter to the secretary of state of Rhode Island, he could not enter the May 23 primary there because of the ban on liis television appearances.

Paulsen said the ban is and and he is appealing the FCC directive to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. He said his decision was partly prompted by the refusal of the NBC-owned stations to air segments of the Walt Disney Studios series Mouse in which he starred. of my professional responsibility as a performer I cannot, in good conscience, permit the Disney Studio to scrap a half-hour television program and to suffer substantial economic he said.
