We propose a gauge theory of weak and electromagnetic interactions based on SU(3) x U(1). The muonic and electronic doublets are classified differently. As a consequence, we get the same predictions of the Weinberg-Salam SU(2) x U(1) theory for the ..nu../sub ..mu../ - (nu-bar/sub ..mu../-) initiated processes and parity conservation in atoms. The muon number is exactly conserved. Predictions are made that will be tested in the future high-energy colliding-beam experiments.
