he recalled yesterday. "I didn't want to be just a police officer I wanted to know what I was doing." With only a junior high school education, he read every law book he could get his hands on. After a short time on the force as a beat patrolman. Hogan organized a group of police officers who came to the cellar of his Ros-lindale home every week to discuss criminal law and court procedure as they applied to police work.

If he is successful, he said, he will row from France to Africa next winter. D'Aboville is married and has one son. He lives in Auray, on the coast of France where he works as a boat surveyor and delivery captain. Both jobs require navagational skills and experience at sea. "My wife isn't too happy about this," he said.

"But she would rather have me attempt it than be miserable for the rest of my life." bought their law books second-hand from Morgan Memorial. "In those days," Hogan said, "a recruit got only a few weeks training at the Police Academy and then hit the streets. To learn the policeman's role, you had to fend for yourself or go out with veteran officers. Now the academy is like a junior college." Capt. William Joseph Hogan should know.

He has been commanding officer, as well as teacher, of the academy in Boston's North End for more than 35 years, training thousands of young men who have gone on to become police chiefs, detectives and police superintendents throughout the state. Today, at 2 p.m. in the auditorium of District 1 in Government Center, many of them will turn out to honor Hogan when he becomes the 13th deputy superintendent in the Boston Police Department Supt. Edward F. Connolly, who has known Hogan for 30 years, said Hogan, who is nearing the retirement age of 70, will remain in his academy post.

D'Aboville said he's been deluged with requests from sailors wishing to make the journey with him. There was some anxiety last week that the voy age would be canceled when the Coast Guard ar rived for an unexpected inspection of the vessel. The Coast Guard was alerted when d'Aboville staged a mock departure for a group of Canadian journalists wishing to film the event. The Capitaine Cook was being towed out of the pond to accommodate the film crew when a Coast Guard Boston whaler ar rived. After declaring the vessel seaworthy, the Coast Guard, which has the authority to intercept the voyage, gave Its approval.

D'Aboville said that if he encounters a storm he That whole academy revolves will lock himself in the front compartment and wait around Bill. He is the ultimate source it out. "The boat is designed in such a way that if By. Patricia Gatto Special, to The Globe CHATHAM If all goes as planned, Gerard d'Aboville, from Brittany, will begin rowing from Chatham to Europe today in a 15-foot boat he built specifically for the voyage. If d'Aboville reaches his destination, he will be the first man to row from the United States to Europe alone.

In 1966 John Ridgeway and Chay Blyth of Canada rowed successfully from Chatham to Ireland. The 34-year-old d'Aboville will leave from Mill Pond! His boat, the Capitaine Cook, has been docked here since early last week. The voyage will take between 70 and 100 days, according to d'Aboville, who said, "You can't be sure of anything when you do something like this." Although his landfall depends on the wind and tides, he expects to land somewhere on the coast of Ireland, but would prefer to land in France because, he said, "that will save me from having to bring the boat home." D'Aboville was scheduled to leave last week, but his departure was delayed when delivery of a digitil odometer was held up over the July 4th weekend. The equipment, ordered from France, was due to arrive this morning. D'Aboville said he got the idea for the voyage two years ago.

Once he found a sponsor to back his ef- forts, he began the design and construction of the aptly named Capitaine Cook after a French food company. The boat is a double-ended canoe with watertight storage compartments in the fore and aft. D'A- boville will sleep on a foam cushion in the front end. which also doubles as his dining area. The cockpit is self-bailing, and three sets of oars sit on the hull.

There fs no motor on board. Cost of the single-handed voyage is estimated at $20,000.

He has all the Supreme Court onto the sides of the compartments.

There is enough about loneliness.

He is an expert on civil service legislation and has been invaluable in setting up the exams. The him as will several maps.

"1 also plan to take time and relax. I will have a tea time every day around 2 p.m.," he said, pouring wine into a plastic cup. The Chatham site was chosen because the Gulf Stream currents off the Cape are favorable for rowing, according to Tom Benson, a friend of d'Abo-ville's who helped organize the trip. Benson said his only worry is that d'Aboville will have a personal accident on board. "A cut that won't heal is the only thing to fear," he said.

The boat itself is fine." By early this morning, the Captaine Cook was academy is Bill Hogan, Connolly said. In 1947, Hogan sustained severe But it will last for four months if it has to. There are also more than 50 Snickers and Musketeers candy bars on board, which d'Aboville calls a treat. "Something to look forward to." The vessel was built in France and flown to New York a month ago. It was then transported to the Mill Pond boat yard in Chatham where it got a fresh coat of paint and other preparations for the voyage.

F. Spaulding Dunbar, owner of the boat yard, supervised the maintenence and said, "She's a sturdy boat. I think she'll make it." The boat was then launched into Mill Pond, a salt water inlet leading to the Atlantic. D'Aboville spent the week on the Capitaine Cook, testing her out and staying close to the expensive radio and navigational equipment.

He has done the same with new state statutes pertaining to the rights of individuals and police work, a new automobile law or a child abuse law. His small office in the academy is cluttered with law books that he has paid for himself. He still reads a lot of law books, "before I go to church on Sunday and before I go to bed." For 26 months. Hogan worked with the Boston University Criminal Justice Center in designing a statewide curriculum for police academies, revolving around criminal investigation procedures and constitutional issues.

Once, at the request of another state, Hogan wrote a civil service exam. For the last 25 years, he has written a column, "Police Students Corner" for the Sentinel, the Massachusetts Police Assn. magazine. Lawyers, detectives and other colleagues often seek his advice, "on everything," he said, "from murders to slugs in a laundramat." Hogan feels it's important to be thorough and exact because, he said, "Some of the best cases in the country are lost because of improper police procedure." Born in Chelsea, Hogan has lived in Roslindale since he married the former Margaret Lehman. They have two sons, Robert, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and running an data processing firm in Australia and Arthur, music director in the West Bridgewater schools, and two grandchildren.

"Two things have made great changes in police work since I started," Hogan said. "They are mobility and communications. In the old days, when an officer had a prisoner, he might have had to walk 3 miles with him to a call box. Now. all he does is push a button." Always the teacher, Hogan knows a police officer must have more more than textbook knowledge.

Langone said Dunleavy and Jordan have appeared together before the committee In recent weeks to dlcuss the police budget, adding, "It's clear to me from what has gone on Just at our meetings that Dunleavy Is really running the show. Jordan defers to him most of the time. You can see It sitting there." "There's no reason these problems have to be happening." Langone said, referring to the state stature giving the Boston Police commissioner the sole authority to run the department.

Sizcr. one of the country's better known educators, will step down as headmaster of Phillips Academy at Andover at the end of the 1981 academic year after nine years running the prestigious preparatory school. A former dean of the Graduate School of Education at Harvard University. Sizer said he is resigning to lead a team of educators and university researchers In a two-year study of high schools. He has been an advocate of giving priority to minority students, both in his educational theory and in practice as Andover headmaster.

During eight years as Andover headmaster. Sizer, how 48. supervised the merger of Phillips Academy and nearby Abbot Academy into a single coeducational school, and has seen admissions plications set records for seven consecutive years. In addition, during Sizer's tenure, the school launched a fund-raising campaign that brought In more than $52 million in three and a half years. The school marked Its 200th birthday In 1978 with a balanced budget.

Sizer introduced 6-to-10-weck residential study programs for high school students. Including music and special math and science programs for minority students. When Sizcr leaves Andover in June 1981, he expects to work with a number of former Harvard colleagues on a study of why schwils are not better than they are. "The focus will be on the premise Ix-hlnd the high school system," said Sizer who wrote a history on US high schools In the early 1970s. In a telephone Interview he said, "I looked at what people's assumptions were about high schools at the turn of the century and how remarkably the plan to build them went Into effect.
