A man should be qualified for a high diplomatic post before he is appointed.

Actually, it is better to appoint career diplomats to these posts and give them expense allowances that will entertain in the enable them to manner that -the particular post requires." James R. Roth W. 86th an experimental basi3. Mao Tse-tung and his cronies, who invited this look-see to begin with, now take exception to various things Secretary of State Dulles -said last Thursday in his conditional statement of acceptance. Mao is particularly incensed over Dulles'" refusal to let Red Chinese newsmen come here.

We've' been expecting some such development from the start. What to do next? Our idea would be to do nothing next; just decline to haggle further with the Peiping VOICE OF THE PEOPLE auveriis ing: "No. Our American way of life is one of wealth and some culture. We must appoint men to high political posts who represent our wealth and who have good, common sense. These posts are staffed John Foster Dulles tiff givt mam mud tijreu uitb Uittr.

Any Red Chinese newsmen whom we might admit to this country would only spy on us and blackmail Chinese here. British-owned Hong Kong has long been a good source of news about Red China, anyway; so why not let the matter drop with a dull thud? with career diplomats who do all the necessary diplomatic work." Mrs.

I'd hate to think that our State Department is stupid an appointment if HQs? enough to okay that doesn't make sense." Robert S. Bel port, Woodmere. a 1 1 sing: AUTO MAKERS REBUFF REUTHER The Big Three auto manufacturers have replied to Walter P. Reuther's proposal that they fight inflation by cutting prices $100 per car on their 1958 models, with Reuther making some extremely foggy remarks about what he might do in return.

The companies' answer in substance is that their prices are not subject to collective bargaining. Henry Ford II adds that auto workers' wages have gone up 70 since 1943, while auto prices have risen only 30, so who's inflationist now? That's where the disputcstands at the moment, with Reuther bluntly rebuffed on what look3 like a grandstand play to take people's minds off But Get Together the tremendous demands he Against Inflation fr the 1958 contract negotiations. There has1 been one gain, from the public'3 point of view; namely, that both Reuther's United Auto Workers and the automotive Big Three have gone on record as being against inflation. Now that they've all fired their big initial broadsides, we can at least hope they'll eventually work around to some sort of joint attack on inflation which is our worst domestic enemy at this time. No.

but only because our career diplomats cannot fill these posts on their relatively small nay. Who but a Jock Whitney can afford to hold the job of Ambassador at Li Jl the Court of Sr. a a KEEPING TABS Queens: Seems to me our am bassadors should wear stripes like chevrons one for each 000 contributed for political purposes. W. P.

ACTRESS RESENTS Brooklyn: You ridiculous idiots who are so sure that all film stars lead disgraceful lives disgust me. You're jealous of entertainers, so you're only too glad when these disgusting snakes who call themselves editors prini their scandal magazines. Just because you lead free-and-easy lives, don't asume that all per formers do the same. RESPECTABLES PERFORMER, SCOFFERS RKBIKED Bronx: I get a swift pain fiorn people Malting about now Civil Defense can't help, because am enemy can drop A- and H-bombs on us. The point is that there will still be survivors, and only an efficient Civil Defense ran sup ply them with food, medical care, and a chance to work and ffihk back.

If these know-it-alls ars too lar.y to do their duty, let thetn admit it and stop whining. Ths rest of us will try to carry their load for them. TROUD CD VOLUNTEER-DOUBLE PAIN Manhattan: In a recent edU torial, "Satisfied, you told of the British drones who refuse to work as long as they can live on the National Assistance funds. But why didn't you add that those funds which create too many happy and satis fied Socialists in a foreign conn try probably come from ths funis of dissatisfied American taxpayers like me? JOSEPH LoPINTO. THE FORGOTTEN MAILMAN Hoboken, N.

Many thousands of us postal employes, liks myself with 40 years of service, wish to thank your paper for your recent editorial, "Postal Reform," which told the truth aboul Congress' overlooking our deserved raise in pay. RUDOLPH HASCIIE. WHO'S AFRAID? Manhattan: Let's have som common sense, reality and sanity about the supposed epidemic Oriental influenza. Hysteria is mounting about this Asiatic fid from far-off places. If that's ths way it is to be, let's go all that way and call it Flu Manchu.

ARDIE KETTOP. THE LABOR FRONT Queens: Hearing about these hoodlums that head some labor unions is enough to make one sick. Doesn't this Jimmy Hoffa have any friends of good character? They all seem to be punks. A WORKER. Manhattan: The Senate investigation has "proven what liars union leaders were some years ago, when they cried that the Taft-Hartley law would kill unionism.

What was killed was Taft's chance at the Presidential nomination. Union leaders then went on a grafting spree and their friends on a spending spree with the suckers' money. JOHN CASCIONE. Manhattan: A Voice writer signed "Soda Jerk" complained that members of our restaurant union "are compelled to pay officials so much per week if we want to keep our jobs." If he is charging that he is compelled to pay a kick-back from his pay to an officer of our union, we would appreciate the name of that officer and promise that, if the facts are true, the officer will be sum-marily expelled from our union. If, on the other hand, the writer is complaining about the payment of dues, these are a necessary obligation for members in almost any organization.

FRED FERRARA, President, Local 11. Paramus, ds. I detect an aroma of Ponzi in many of the operations of these union officials. They "borrow" money to invest in various speculative enterprises; return it if it pays off; if not, "borrow" again. SAM SCODES.

Brooklyn: Three cheers for our Local 299, paper box union! Since it was organized in there has been no embezzlement. ALICE SERIIAN. Hoboken, N. An honest union election law is the only thing that can free union members from the entrenched racketeers in labor. A UNION MEMBER.

THE UN BOOTED BEAR Bronx: The great Russian bear growls at us, and in reprisal we kick the little puppy countries. Are we afraid, or just stupid? HAROLD J. CLARK. NO BIA3 THERE Bronx: The Irish did it again. Cork, a city 95 Catholic, has elected a Methodist mayor.

This country could well learn a valuable lesson from all this. HERBERT MIKALOUS. He's qualified, but that's coinci dental." Mrs. Dora Dover, Bronx, home: ine system is wrong. I'm from England.

I know it isn't infrequent for your ambassadors to make Americans appear in the wrong light. That's because they know very little about diplomacy. You'd have a better chance with the shrewd British diplomats if you sent men who are qualified diplomats." EXPERT TESTIMONY It was most reassuring to hear counterspy (for 12 years) Bori3 Morros say on the TV "Face the Nation" show Sunday that U. S. intelligence work these days is superior to the Russians' in technique, shrewdness and' results obtained.

That is, however, no cause for us to be complacent about the Red spy networks in this country. And it is another powerful argument for protecting the FBI FILES from the Earl Warren Supreme Court's decision throwing them open to the accused in criminal (including subversive) cases. The Justice Department wrote a strong bill for this purpose. Sen. Joseph C.

O'Mahoney, Wyoming Democrat whom we have long mistrusted politically, has rewritten and greatly weakened the bill, which the Senate passed last night. Scheduled tcf come before the Reverse the House shortly, though, is the strong Warren Court bil ep- Kenneth B. Keating (R-N. We hope earnestly that the House will pass this measure, without crippling amendments from any source, with a view to eventually bringing out of House-Senate conference a bill which really will safeguard the FBI files thereby knocking out the Warren court's attempt to hamstring the Government in its war on the criminal Communist Bill Walker, latbush engineer: flo. lhis system works okay.

The men inted as a a adors are usually com petent executives. They have to be confirmed by the Senate and I'm sure that they are given a good going- over before they get the Senate's okay.".
