Reports received from WWJ-AM radio tonight indicate that people dialing the Michigan Bell operator to obtain the time were instructed to dial a 900 number set up for the purpose. The operators themselves were instructed by Michigan Bell superiors to do this and apparently had no choice in the matter. Detroit-area callers can continue to get the time WITHOUT CHARGE by dialing 472-1212. For how much longer this is in effect remains to be seen. Sander J.
