Spread across the desert near here is a sight to make American taxpayers wince and and smaller nations turn green with envy. In neat rows are nearly 5000 military aircraft ranging from tiny helicopters through supersonic bombers to huge transports.

Even some missiles are here among 66 different types of air weapons in storage. The site contains America's reserve air fleet, bigger than the active air force of most nations. Officially the 3000 acres covered with aircraft is called the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center. (MASDC). All military services send their planes here when they are not needed on active duty.

Some persons refer to the area as the "aircraft boneyard," but MASDC officials quickly note that the nearly $6 billion worth cash mid foi mmi ano riEcious also SltVEI. ANTIQUE JtWELtT.

The aircraft here also contain unique parts, not now in production, for planes in service. Often MASDC receives urgent messages from various parts of the world for these parts to keep other planes flying. It is a somewhat poignant experience for pilots flying planes to the storage area, as this writer did last week when he delivered a Michigan. Air National Guard RF-84F from Selfridge Air Force Base to this site. CASH VALUE LOW It was a two ship flight, with Maj.

Edward Del Aguila, a Denby High School teacher, flying the other RF-84F on what was probably the last flight for these two jets. The Michigan air guard now is getting supersonic RF-101 jets and the RF-84Fs are surplus. The two jets performed nearly perfectly as we streaked from Selfridge at more than 500 miles an hour with a fuel stop at Wichita. For more than eight years, Michigan guardsmen have flown these planes, maintaining proficiency for possible wars. We were told the planes, costing $800,000 when new 15 years ago, now will bring about $300 at current scrap prices.

"We get about $8000 area covering 3000 acres in Arizona. Vast area holds reserve air fleet bigger than active force of most nations. ASLEEP, BUT READY Mothballed US warplanes wait recall to duty, or eventual scrapping, at MASDC storage ber, MASDC vice-commander, said recently he flew a C-45 transport which had only a few hours work after it was in storage for more than four years. "The radios and everything performed perfectly," he said. Military plans for the majority of aircraft stored here is to prepare them for a "one time flight" to an overhaul site somewhere in the United States where they would be prepared for active service if needed.

Among the many planes here are America's fleet of B-58 bombers, the free Most famous of these is the venerable C-47, of World War II fame. Hundreds of these twin engine transports came here after World War II, returned to service in the Berlin airlift, went to Korea and more recently flew in Vietnam. Today 150 C-47s are stored here for possible future use. The sunbaked desert site at the edge of Tucson was selected as a storage area after World War II. Its dry climatic conditions and absence of soil acidity permits the planes to remain outside for years without deteriorating.

As for Huebner-Petro-sian, six straight draws, a Petrosian win on the 7th and the young (22) Hueb-ner's nerves folded so he withdrew. Huebner had said he hated to play Petrosian, for apparently he thought it was like playing against a phantom. Larsen beat Uhlmann, 5 -3 but had his troubles. Uhlmann had previously had a plus score against Larsen, and came very close again.

Geller turned in one brilliant game against Korchnoi, but the latter was predictably stronger by Vz-IVz. The sensation so far is again Fischer. A sweep against Taimanov, twice Soviet champion, 10th rated Soviet player, is hardily believable. Taima-hardly believable. Taimanov had publicly questioned Fischer's ability in 1968.

world's only supersonic bomber, which has been retired from active service because of its great operational expense. The B-52, modified to carry the X-15 research rocket plane to altitudes for launch, is among the bombers stored here. Still painted on its nose are tiny missiles representing the many flights it performed in pushing this nation's knowledge of high speed aircraft. Almost equal to the MASDC mission of storing aircraft is its role in providing supplies to the active services. Many aircraft here have Botvinnik had written in the Soviet press that Tai-manov-Fischer would be close, as Fischer was not all that strong.

But the uneducated, un-mannered kid from Brooklyn, from a nation of amateur chessplayers, has shaken the Soviet world with this last match win. Not since Lasker blanked Tarrasch some 60 years ago has this happened. Fischer is a purist, playing not for an audience, nor to compomise, nor to ingratiate, but only to win. He seems lately to refuse draws unless only the Kings are left. Fischer also insisted on playing privately against Taimanov who, as a concert pianist, welcomed an audience.

There was no private room so an auditorium was finally used. Larsen, a genius Titan, has said too many concessions have been given Fischer, so negotiating the gently sought a teaching position in 24 different communities in the Greater Boston area. She said she was "unable even to get a nibble." Mrs. Godin then decided to try colleges and junior colleges admissions offices because she had had some experience at Elmira in a pilot admissions program. Finally she was rewarded with two job offers, but both positions meant she would have to spend at least 50 percent of her time away from her husband.

Mrs. Godin then turned to the yellow pages of the phone book and began writing and calling educational bureaus and foundations. She landed a job with the Massachusetts Department of Education's teacher certification division where she is now employed as a supervisor. In this capacity she serves, ironically, as a guidance counselor for budding teachers. Eventually Mrs.

Nevertheless Taimonov fought very hard and none of the games were a walkaway. They seemed to have a similar pattern a close, hard fought struggle, King's Indians or Sicilians, of planes, helicopters and missiles is the strongest reserve fleet in the free world. FUEL DRAINED Almost all the planes are flown into adjacent Davis Monthan Air Force Base, then taxied to the storage area, Fuel is drained from the ships, all openings sealed and preservative placed in the engines before they are towed to their parking areas. For many aircraft the flight here is their last. They stay here, ready for use, until it is decided better equipment is available, both in storage and active service.

Then they are stripped of all useful components, which go back into military supply channels, and the hulks are sold as scrap.

It is a sad sight to a pilot to watch a huge knife drop from the crane to slice the wings from once sleek aircraft.

Teaching JOBS Continued from Page B-l Gibbs uses the computer of the nearby Eastern Naz-arene College in Quincy to sort teacher applications. The computer helped Gibbs find an industrial arts teacher from 1727 applications.

He said he wanted one who had trained at the University of Massachusetts. By hand Gibbs said he never could have found the one and only application. The computer also came up with the applications of three male kindergarten teachers in record time. Gibbs is hoping that the surrounding communities, Cohasset, Norwell and Hanover, will join Hing-ham in a regional computerized teacher recruiting program that would save time for all the school administrators involved in locating teachers with individual qualifications from the thousands of applications that pour in.

Weekly meetings on Thursdays at 8 p.m. attract dozen chess enthusiasts. Lured by the healthy competition, free refreshments and free instruction by director Tigran Schach, this club has done much to increase the popularity of the game in this area.

Baker believes there should be alternatives to present teacher certification standards for judging a teacher's merits and assessing how that teacher will affect the educational growth of pupils. In recent studies, Dr. Eaker revealed, there has been no evidence to show that teacher certification, or the number of degrees possessed by a teacher, had any real relationship to the growth pattern of pupils.

Instead there has been real proof, he added, that student evaluation of teachers and contact by teachers with pupils outside of the classroom contribute significantly to development of students. Baker suggests there should be alternatives to present teacher certification methods such as participation in a teacher training program, internship in a school system, performance at or above the 50th percentile in a national teachers exam. There should be recognition, he adds, for special ized skills in such fields as music, art, business, or industrial arts. A teacher also could be certified siimply by performing satisfactorily in the field or by serving a year's apprenticeship in his chosen field. Whether or not teacher certification standards should be changed, the reality of the tight job market for teachers has not.

It is a fact, and college placement officers in leading teachers colleges report this year's picture is bleak. The case of Mrs. Ruth Godin, 23, of Waltham, who is originally from Peekskill, New York, is typical of what is happening to would-be teachers. Mrs. Godin was graduated from Elmira College in upstate New York, majoring in history and politics.

She then obtained a master's degree from the Columbia Graduate School of Education. Following her marriage, she and her husband settled in Boston, where her husband obtained an industrial management position. From April to August of 1970, Mrs. Godin dili- 4.
