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.
