 The assembly's decision to wait until tomorrow to nominate a pre- mier reflected the troubled indeci- sion of French political leaders after day of jockeying among the lla- tion,s three major parties.
 The Communists withdrew their bid to name their general secretary Maurice Thorez. Then despite Q round of conferences and c0nl- promise proposals, they, the S0- cialists and Popular Republicans were unable to agree on leader for the coalition government they sought.
 Reject Vincent Auriol
 The crisis precipitated Sunday by De Gaulle's resignation reached it's worst deadlock so far when the Com munists, contrary to general expec~ tation, rejected the Socialist nom~ inee, Vincent Auriol. to head the government. Communist leaders then renewed a demand from which they had been diverted momentarily for the nomination of Felix Gollin, Socialist president of the assembly. Gouin announced he was not inter- ested.
 With no solution in sight, the As~
