What was the ambassador supposed to do in such a touchy situation? Was he to shout "Get thee behind me you dirty large amphibian?" No, of course not An ambassador is to be diplomatic at all times. Let us not forget that giant would like to state my objection to the blatant discrimination the Chronicle showed in Wednesday's editorial I see nothing wrong with the' Dutch ambassador posing with a giant green frog. Perhaps the frog was an ardent admirer of the ambassador and green frogs have feelings, too. It would be no different if the ambassador was to pose for a picture with a large basset-houna green fern, or Dan Quayle. d, PeteAshdown sophunior philosophical welding V w W Letter attacking Huntsman Chemicals bogus Editor: ... '-. It is amazing that supposedly educated people like Drew behavioral problem, not the fault of any material. Why are there not calls to make coated paper, glass and aluminum litter degradable? Environmentalists and government leaders alike agree that we cannot degrade ourselves out of our litter and solid waste problems. Those facts are easily confirmed. Second, plastics have unlimited recycling potential and the plastics recycling business, especially for polystyrene, is growing rapidly. Huntsman Chemical and seven Schembre ("Chronicle plastics story hides true dangers to environment," Nov. 8) continue to believe and foster the gross misinformation and hysteria which surround polystyrene foam food service products. Mr. Schembre castigates Huntsman Chemical for putting out "mounds of corporate drivel" during a presentation to the Hinckley Institute of Politics.

Even so, in April 1988 the food service industry announced a voluntary phase out of the use of fully halogenated CFCs and that is now complete. It was phase-ou- t the first industry to do so.
