We present a unified gauge model based on the group SU(6) that contains as commuting subgroups the SU(3) ×U(1) of weak interactions and the color SU(3) of strong interactions. In this scheme nonconservation of separate electron and muon number naturally arises through mixing of flavors in the quark sector, while the proton remains stable.
