  We review here the classical argument used to justify the electrical
neutrality of stars and show that if the pressure and density of the matter and
gravitational field inside the star are large, then a charge and a strong
electric field can be present. For a neutron star with high pressure (~ 10^{33}
to 10^{35} dynes /cm^2) and strong gravitational field (~ 10^{14} cm/s^2),
these conditions are satisfied. The hydrostatic equation which arises from
general relativity, is modified considerably to meet the requirements of the
inclusion of the charge. In order to see any appreciable effect on the
phenomenology of the neutron stars, the charge and the electrical fields have
to be huge (~ 10^{21} Volts/cm). These stars are not however stable from the
viewpoint that each charged particle is unbound to the uncharged particles, and
thus the system collapses one step further to a charged black hole
