VANCOUVER (CP) — A
huge and steel
wheel reflecting light into the
sky and across the waters of
False Creek is likely to be the

me wheel will be 100 me-
tres in diameter, will cost
several million dollars and

architect Bruno Freschi, who
along with Vancouver en-

signed the wheel. The design
was recently named the
winner in a competition to

find a symbol for the world
fair.

Expo spokesman Jess Ket-
chum said Monday that the
fair's board of directors has
selected the wheel “for fu-
rther studies” but it has not
yet been officially ngmed the
fair’s symbol.

“But nothing is being given
the same consideration asthe

are anxious to get a decision
and it should be made within
the next 60 days.”

According to Freschi, the
wheel is the symbol of move-

Turner decided it was time to maké the ascent from the
Uplander Hotel to his former childhood home on Wash
ington Street. It's a short walk, but up a relatively steep
hill.

Duffy — who's nearly as well known for his port

up the hill in front of Turner to film his lead-in for the
story

The sight of the rotound Duffy jogging ap a hill in 20

featured on the CBC National News Tuesday evening and
he wryly pointed out that Kootenay West has voted
either NDP or Conservative for as long as anyone can
remember, despite Turner's connection to the area.

MOSCOW (REUTER) —
The Soviet press today at
tacked planned western cel-
ebrations of the 1944 Allied
landings in Normandy saying
the invasion was of far less
importance that the fighting
on the Russian front.

Two commentaries on D.-
Day also said western lead-
ers delayed the offensive so
Germany could inflict max.
imum damage on Soviet for
ces, and staged the landings
only when they feared Mos-
cow might beat Hitler alone.

The articles were the la-
test shots in a Soviet media
campaign to belittle the value
of D-Day and suggest that
western troops had a easy
fight against the Germans.

Leaders of the countries
involved in the June 6 in-
vasion, including Prime Min
ister Trudeau, U.S. Presi
dent Reagan, Queen Eliza
beth and French President
Francois Mitterrand, will
take part in a commemor-
ation on the Normandy
beaches of France next week.

The Soviet weekly Liter-
aturnaya Gazeta branded the
event an “American show”
designed to give the impres-
sion the United States saved
Europe from the Nazis and
now is protecting it from the
Communists.

ing to portray D-Day as the
crucial turning point in the
Second World War and cover
up the more significant role
played by Soviet troops.

The official news agency
Tass quoted military his-
torian Yuri Plotnikov as say
ing the Allies had held up the
opening of the “second front”
for 2 years so that Moscow
would bear the brunt of the
fighting.

“But in 1944 it became
clear to the ruling circles of

ittle D-

the U.S. and England that
the USSR was in a position to
defeat the Fascist German
forces by itself and liberate
the nations of Europe.”
Plotnikov ‘said the West
exaggerated the importance
of the Normandy invasion
and the scale of the fighting
that followed: “In scale, size
and achievement, the mili
tary actions of the Allies in
France in summer 1944 bear
absolutely no comparison
with the offensive of the So-

Day

viet forces in this period.”

Gerasimov said the Can-
adian, U.S., British and
French forces had suffered
relatively light casualties.
About 50,000 were killed
during 70 days of fighting.

Moscow has long played
down the role of the western
Allies in the war. But the
recent comments on the
D-Day celebrations have
been far more hostile than
the usual Soviet response to
such events.

Princess meets star

LONDON (AP) — What
did Princess Margaret say
about exotic British pop star
Boy George when they met
at a radio awards ceremony
Tuesday and what did he say
about her?

It depends which British
tabloid you read.

The Sun said the 53-year
old divorcee sister of Queen
Elizabeth declared: “I don’t
know who he is but he looks
like an overmade-up tart.”

And Boy George, 22, wear.
ing a long, shocking pink coat
and black sequined pants,
said: “So Princess Margaret
has snubbed me, has she I
didn’t want to talk to her
anyway,” The Sun reported.

The Daily Star said the
princess was photographed
briefly shaking hands with
the Culture Club singer as

she met ShOwbuSifiess pér.
sonalities at the ceremony
but refused to pose beside
him for a second picture,
saying: “I'm too old for that
kind of thing.”

It says Boy George storm
ed afterwards: “I don’t give a
damn. Princess Margaret
doesn’t mean a thing to me.”

But The Daily Mail said
there were no tantrums. It
said the princess merely
asked, “Who's Boy George,
then?” And when told said,
“Oh yes, of course.”

Princess Margaret's staff
denied she called Boy George
an over made-up tart. “That
is nonsense,” said an aide at
her Kensington Palace home.
“It is something she would
never even dream of saying.”

Boy George confused
French police earlier this

year when be arrived at Nice
airport wearing a dress and
makeup but carrying a pass-
port with a photograph show-
ing him in male attire.

And he says he’s bisexual
but anyone who thinks he's a
“little wimp of a guy” is mis.
taken

“I'm not the least bit ef-
feminate,” the flamboyant
singer said in an interview
published in the June 7 issue
of Rolling Stone magazine.

“I'm very masculine. And
I'm confident — not arrogant,
confident.

“I leave the impression I
want with people. I don't
think people think I'm gay —
or maybe they do, until they
meet me. The point is, people
get more than they bargain
for with Boy George.”
