General Saw Maung assumes the leadership of the Government in Burma. General Saw Maung, who took power on Sunday in Burma, was elected prime minister yesterday by the members of the Government he appointed last Tuesday.

Saw Maung also has the Defense and Foreign Affairs portfolios. Meanwhile, demonstrations against the military regime in the main Burmese cities continue. Since last Sunday he has had at least 161 deaths, according to official sources (at least 500, according to Western diplomats).

A military statement released on the Yangon radio yesterday asked soldiers to respect women: The men of the defense forces must remain free from any reproach in their relations with women. They do not need to violate military discipline or that are delivered to indecent acts.

The socialist Burman period saw Ne Win as the military dictator who flew around 1962 to 1988. He was also engaged in many socio-economic activities happening in the country.
