Former Premier sParty Leading In Burmese Voting RANGOON, Burma (AP) Former Premier Nu's supporters held. a wide lead today in early returns from parliatary rule in: Burma. mentary elections to end, millU Nu's Clean face lion or the anti Peoples Freedom League (AFPFL) had captured 59 seats so far in the 250-member Parlioment as opposed to 11 for' the AFPFL's Stable wing. The Communistline United Front (NUF). and the Independents had only one seat each.

It appeared certain that U. Nur would again ahead the government. The AFPFL, which had ruled Burma since it won independence from Britain in 1947, split two years ago. As a result of the factional feuding that followed, Nu handed over the premiership 16 months ago -to a housecleaning mill- tary regime headed by Lt. Gen.

Ne Win, the army commander. Since both factions insisted on retaining the AFPFL title, the designations Clean and Stable. were used in the election campaign. The Cleans claimed support of the masses, while the Stables were backed largely by businessmen and industrialists. In the campaign the Cleans promised to preserve and continue the military regime's cleanup of corruption that plagued the previous parliamentary regime.

The Stables claimed: victory for them would insure stability of the future government. Foreign policy was not ant issue. Both AFPFL factions espouse a neutralist line. It will take a week to complete tabulation of the vote since communications from outlying districts are slow.
