Plan Fails
CRISIS DEVELOPS
General Refuses Key Posts
In Cabinet To Com
munist Group
Bv HERBERT G. KING


United Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, Saturday, Nov. II. Gen.
Charles De Gaulle, symbol of un-
conquerable French resistance to
Nazism, resigned last night as
President of the provisional govern
ment to which he was unanimous
ly elected only Tuesday.
After three days of fruitless at
tempts to form a government on
the basis of a national coalition of
the three major parties, De Gaulle
sent his resignation to President
Felix Gouin Of the Assembly.
It was at once arranged to hold
a meeting of the assembly Monday.
Political quarters hoped that mean
while it would be possible to work
out a compromise under which De
Gaulle might continue his leader
ship.
The core of the crisis was dis
pute between De Gaulle and the
Communists, the strongest party
in the Assembly, over formation
of national coalition government.
The Communists demanded one
of the three key posts in the cab
inet-Foreign Affairs; War, en-
failing command over the fight
ing forces; Interior, which would
mean control of the national police
organization.
De Gaulle refused to give in.
For the moment, the country was
without a formal government.
However, the present cabinet Will
continue as is usual to serve un-
til the crisis has been settled.
The dispute between the Com
munists and De Gaulle, who de-
nanded that he be authorized to
form three party coalition with
his own cabinet selections, flared
into the open Thursday night in a
bitter exchange.
Throughout Friday, De Gaune
conferred with political leaders
without success.
Last night he wrote letter to
Gouin, returning the mandate CIV
en- him to form government and
thus resigning as Provisional
President.
Gouin at once called meeting
of party leaders and it was decld-
ed to convene the assembly at 5
p. m. Monday.
