Introduction. In a recent unified theory originated by Einstein and Straus [l], the gravitational and electromagnetic fields are represented by a single nonsymmetric tensor gy which is a function of four coordinates xr(r = 1, 2, 3, 4). In addition a non-symmetric linear connection Γjki is assumed for the space and a Hamiltonian function is defined in terms of gij and Γjki. By means of a variational principle in which the gij and Γjki are allowed to vary independently the field equations are obtained and can be written
