Proposed Rate Hike Angers North Virginiano FAIRFAX (AP)-Northern Virginians hvt been angered by the proposed Chesapeake It Potomac Telephone Co. message unit rate increase which was temporarily halted by the State Corporation Commission last week. State legislators, attorneys, businessmen, consumers and even the Pentagon have rallied against the increase, which they feel is unconstitutional. The SCC held up the increase pending further study. The opponents (eel the increase discriminates against northern Virginians since they will have to pay three-fourths of the II 9 million increase.

The telephone company planned to implement its new billing system by Oct. 26. It would charge message rate Mr-vice subscribers according to the length as well as the num ber of calls made. The charge would be seven cents for each five-minute unit. The company claims its plan has been mandatory in the state for years, but it has just installed the necessary equipment in northern Virginia.

Installation of equipment for the rest of the state should be completed by 1980. C1P says. Until then, northern Virginians will bear the brunt of the costs. State Sen. Clive L.

Hirst says the SCC "has vast constitutional powers on utility rates that should be studied." Other members of the group opposing the increase have suggested that the SCC be expanded to seven members, placing more emphasis on consumer representation. "That would be more profitable than legislation, since we hardly have enough time for existing businesses," said Del.

Richards says three telephone books would suffice. But a computer disagreed and sent him 63 directories. Richards said Wednesday that the Chesapeake Potomac Telephone Co. first delivered 63 phone directories to his Potomac Arms shop. When Richards complained that he didn't need all those books, he was informed that a computer said he was entitled to them.

Later that day Richards learned that most of his neighbors didn't receive directors. Hoping to straighten out the matter, Richards called and said he would just distribute the extra copies to his neighbors. But said he couldn't do that and added that someone would come by his shop to pick them up. A few days later, 43 directories were picked up, leaving Richards with 20. But two days later a delivery man brought him 18 more books.

A spokesman for the office here said the extra books would be picked up. Black Group Buys Two Radio Stations NORFOLK (LTD Religion may take the place of progressive rock and country music on two popular Norfolk radio stations, now that thev have been purchased by a religiously-oriented black group. Bishop L. E. Willis of Norfolk, whose group announced Tuesday it had bought WWOC-AM and WOWI-FM for $1.13 million, said he is "catering toward a religious format" for one or both of the stations.

Willis, president of the Atlantic National Bank and pastor of the Garden of Prayer Church of God in Christ, said he was not ready to make a definitive statement on the new format, claiming that he would not be "the whole brain-trust behind the thing."
