Music Classical music is enjoying a rebirth in Delaware. Feeling less than enlightened? Staff reporter Penelope Bass Cope tunes you in to everything you wanted to know about collecting the classics, but were afraid to ask, this By JERRY BUCK Associated Press ROBERT CONRAD plays a police detective who's caught in the middle of a bizarre murder case in the CBS movie "One Police Plaza." He's Lt. Daniel Malone, a veteran cop called in to solve the murder of a brutalized young woman. The seemingly routine case suddenly becomes very complicated in this two-hour film based on a novel by William J. Caunitz, a retired New York detective lieutenant.

WCAU-TV (10), WBAL-TV (11) and WBOC-TV (16) will broadcast the movie tonight 9-11. Malone's investigation takes him down many paths, including one so sensitive that some people, even within the police department, will kill to stop him. "He's caught between the youn-. ger guys in his squad who urge him to push through and solve the case," said Conrad, "and the older guys over him trying to hold him back. The younger guys respect him, and the older guys are afraid of him.

Conrad compares the mystery to "Murder, She Wrote," but adds: "This is hard core. This is New York City. There's a shootout at the end." Now in his early 50s, Conrad has veered away from the hard-nosed roles that made him famous. In "One Police Plaza," his character Paar Continued from Dl Kennedy talk about a lawsuit in which the two are defendants. Garland talks about working with Munchkins and sings a duet with Robert Goulet while Paar mixes up their cue cards.

Other guests include Oscar Levant, a hypochondriac and Paar regular; Barry Goldwater; Billy Graham; and Bill Cosby, who was making his television debut. "Forgive me," Paar said. "But I know how good this is, how historic it is." Paar owns all the material shown, and 65 hours worth altogether. For the past few years he has been buying tapes of shows from NBC. "I wanted my grandson to have something of his grandfather." He said he did not want to take the material to NBC at first.

"I didn't think NBC would take it because of Johnny Carson." Paar harbored some resentment of Carson and apparently felt the feeling was mutual after discussions several years ago about a Paar appearance on Carson's show. That story goes like this. When Paar agreed to do the Carson show after years of staying away, he thought the issue was settled. Later, 'Divorce Court' moves WCAU-TV (10) will move its popular "Divorce Court" into the weeknight time slot beginning Monday in an effort to deliver more viewers to its 5:30 newscast. Reruns of "Magnum, P.I." will be aired from 4 to 5 p.m.

Turn to tho News-Journal "doesn't even throw a punch through most of the picture." His first series was "Hawaiian Eye." After that came "Wild Wild West," "The D.A.," "Assignment Vienna," "Baa Baa Black Sheep," "The Duke" and "A Man Called Sloane." He also starred in the min-iseries "Centennial." His last television pilot, "Charley Hannah," fell through when ABC's new programming head turned it down.

Now Conrad is doing another pilot for CBS called "High Mountain Ranger." Conrad hopes to film this one virtually in his backyard in Bear Valley, California. He first moved to the remote area near Lake Tahoe in 1972. He learned to fly during "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and since 1980 has commuted to Los Angeles in his own Malibu Turbo single-engine plane. In 1972, after the failure of "Assignment Vienna," Conrad retired. He moved to Bear Valley, which he had first been attracted to as a ski area.

"I was broke," he said. "I stayed there for two years and worked as a deputy sheriff. The only time I came in contact with TV was when I turned on a set." He laughed and added, "Now I've got my own production company and he said, Carson's producer called to ask for two weeks to "think it over." "I said, 'I can't believe this. Give you two weeks to think over whether you want me on that Paar told the Carson people to forget it, although he did appear as a guest on the show after talking about this in the interview. When NBC took matters into its own hands and approached Paar about using his clips for the network's 60th anniversary special, Paar refused.

"I said, 'No, I don't want to be on in my usual paranoid bit. No, I don't want to be on NBC anymore. They had their chance. I make up all these arguments. And I always win, incidentally.

In my mind I win." Then he relented about using the material on the special, only to discover that NBC wanted to devote a whole show to it. Hence this special. "I said, 'OK, I'll do I went out there and I had a wonderful time." He said he has no interest in hosting a regular talk show, though. Asked to name a perfect group of talk show guests, he mentioned David Niven, Robert Morley, Peter Ustinov, Alexander King and Oscar Levant. Three are no longer among the living.

How about people who are alive today? a questioner wanted to know. "Gee, you really have me," Paar replied. "They just aren't turning them out that way anymore."
