Smell survey draws 1.5 million responses WASHINGTON (AP) National Geographic magazine asked its readers to stop and smell the paper, and a surprising 1.5 million people from around the world responded in what ended up being the largest survey of smell ever done. The survey, consisting of questionnaires containing scratch-and-sniff panels, produced an unprecedented amount of the 4east five, -National Geographic Society said today. Preliminary findings of the survey, which resulted in so much data that full analysis may take years, confirmed some beliefs about smell and called others into question. usually smell more acutely than men. However, pregnant women may experience a diminished sense of small, opposite of what had been believed.

pleasant and unpleasant odors can evoke vivid memories of the past, but this ability appears to decrease gradually with age. detection ability declines slowly with age, starting when people are in their 20s, although it remains near youthful levels well into the 60s. to some beliefs, factory workers can identify odors better than people who work outdoors. with allergies can smell as well as those without this problem. two out of three people have suffered at least a temporary loss of smell, usually because of a cold, flu or sinus infection, but only 1.2 percent have a permanent loss.

in different areas of the world react very differently to a sweaty scent, with almost a third of the people in the United States not being able pick it up at all. The survey, mailed to 11 million National Geographic members in the September 1986 magazine, was prepared and conducted by Drs. Avery N. Gilbert and Charles J. Wysdcki of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, an institution devoted exclusively to the study of taste and smell.

Gilbert and Wysocki said their first findings are based upon a random selection of 26,200 replies from the United States and, for purposes of international comparison, all 100,000 responses from abroad, including Africa, Asia, Latin America and te 5 Readers were asked to fill out a form that included questions about age, sex, occupation, race and disease history. The form also included six panels containing encapsulated odors of "sweat," bananas, musk, cloves, natural gas and roses. The researchers found, for instance, that more than 97 percent of Americans could smell the odor of compounds added to natural gas to give it its characteristic foul warning smell. And about 58 percent correctly identified the odor as gas. However, they found, people over age 60 increasingly rated the odor "not unpleasant, raising questions about the suitability of the smell as a warning of danger.

The scientists said one of the more surprising discoveries of the survey was varying worldwide reaction to the "sweat" scent, a chemical called androstenone. The results indicated widespread "odor blindness" about certain smells, they said. In the United States, 37 percent of men and 29 percent of women could not smell the odor at all. This compared with 24 percent of the men and 16 percent of the women in Europe, and 21 percent of the men and 14 percent of the women in Africa who could not smell it. The researchers said they could not explain the differences, either of region or gender, noted in detecting the "sweat" scent and called for more studies of the many variables that could influence this finding.

Stark-class ships have not been tested realistically WASHINGTON (AP) The damage suffered by the USS Stark in the Persian Gulf when the frigate was hit by a missile wasn't anticipated because the ships had never undergone realistic testing, the Pentagon official in charge of the test program told Congress on Thursday. The Navy is now considering a variety of improvements to make ships of the Stark class less vulnerable to fires which result after missile hits, James O'Bryon, assistant deputy undersecretary of defense, told a House subcommittee. O'Bryon heads the Pentagon's live- fire test program, which was created by Congress four years ago to force Fire Calls Paris Fire Department officials report firefighters made the following calls during the 24-hour period ending 8 a.m. Thursday. WEDNESDAY 10:45 a.m., a grass fire in the 2300 block of Loop 286 NW.

Time out: 19 minutes. 8:01 p.m., a house fire at 431-5th NE. Time out: 21 minutes. THURSDAY 1:01 a.m., a house fire at 1351-llth NE. Time out: 45 minutes.

3:21 a.m., a house fire at Plum Street and 24th Street NW. Time out: 57 minutes. realistic examinations of the various types of military weapons. Before the program began, O'Bryon noted, tests were either of the computer simulation variety or components of various weapons were tried out. He noted the May 17 attack on the Stark, in which 37 seamen were killed and the frigate was heavily damaged.

The ship was hit by a pair of missiles fired by an Iraqi jet, an attack which Iraq says was a mistake. The resulting fires almost sank the vessel, according to some of the men aboard. "The effects of such a hit were not fully appreciated before the incident, as evidenced by the vulnerability reduction improvements now being considered" for Stark-class ships, he testified. O'Bryon was speaking to the House Armed Services acquisition policy panel, which has been investigating the four-year-old live-fire program. A report by the General Accounting Office found that implementation of the program nas been hampered by Pentagon opponents, particularly supporters of a particular weapon who have a vested interest in having the weapon pass tests with flying colors.

O'Bryon generally agreed, noting the tests "must be viewed an an integral part of the acquisition process. It is painful to those who have not anticipated it and to those who feel threatened by it."

Texas Weather By The Associated Press An upper-level disturbance brought high winds, heavy rains and reports of at least one funnel cloud today as forecasters said more rainfall was likely later. The National Weather Service reported a possible tornado was sighted near Big Spring.

Big Spring police reported high winds, heavy rains and continuous lightning about a.m., after the funnel was spotted on weather service radar. The NWS said hail fell in the area.

On Wednesday, at least three tornadoes touched down in the South Plains, damaging two residences and uprooting trees and downing power lines in the area. But no severe damage or injury was reported.

Assistant County Attorney Kerye Ashmore told the jurors he believed that Stone knew the typewriters were questionable merchandise since Stone had not received a bill of sale, did not know the name of the man from whom he purchased the typewriters and did not know how the man had come to have the typewriters. Ashmore also brought out that Stone had admitted buying, in the summer of 1985, merchandise stolen from Keep Furniture.

Stone testified that he needed a typewriter in his office, because one had been stolen earlier. He said he took the typewriters to his home to prevent their being stolen from the office. In the trial, Rodgers called to the witness stand several character witnesses, among them Ed Siddell and Daon Wall. Siddell, a former owner of the apartment complex where Stone has been manager since 1972, testified that Stone was honest and trustworthy. Wall, chairman of the Paris Junior College Board of Regents on which Stone serves, said that Stone's reputation was good.

Other character witnesses oi Stone's behalf included Andrei Smith, Rt. 3, a former Paris polici detective, and attorney Terry Kl Haynes. 5 Rodgers said at the end of the "We thought the decision of guilt 06 the basis that he knew that the goods were stolen was wrong, because wt contended that he did not have that knowledge.
