Jerry Dubin By JOE LAPOINTE I reo Press Sports Writer COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. The skies were gray and rainy for much of Al Kaline's day in the sun.

Then, as he prepared to officially and ceremoniously enter the Baseball Hall of Fame Sunday, the clouds parted as if by script. As Kaline stood with his bronze plaque on the back porch of the National Baseball Library, the sun shone brightly in the blue sky. Kaline told everyone how happy he was to take his place among the immortals of the national pastime. He spoke with his own kind of solemn joy and only once did his voice crack and tears come to his eyes, when he told the gathering how much he wanted to thank his parents for The crowd cheered. "But especially," Kaline said, "those who supported me my entire career in Detroit.

He felt the same way. "Sometimes I feel I am one of the luckiest people in the world," Kaline said. As usual, he looked fit and handsome, wear-See KALINE, Page 5A their "love and hard work."

ily being, "What nerve of Peter Pan to have grown up and put on a suit?" A (Laughter) Yes, I am surprised I do feel that certain people do become symbolic, and that your use of Peter Pan is interesting because I guess that I'm somewhat symbolic of people's youths, in a way, like when the Beatles broke up, or when the Beatles got old, and people said, "Omigosh, I'm aging, too."

In the five years between 1974 and 1979, the number of departmental disciplinary trial boards convened to hear charges of misconduct, neglect of duty, insubordination and disobedience against Detroit police officers increased from 16 to 178, a tenfold increase. This created a backlog that would take at least six months to clear. FURTHERMORE, officers who are dissatisfied with trial board decisions can appeal to civilian arbitrators whose caseload, over the past year, has included 17 cases in which the department fired an officer.
