City council fights CWR contract for Van Dyke
City officials contend to block five year employment terms for CWR general manager Robert P. Van Dyke. Council member Alvin Padilla presses for quick legal ruling on whether a designated council representative may vote in mayor absences. The rescheduled Thursday meeting clashes with the City Council session as Mayor Becker will be away. The change follows the death of Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority chief Robert Vahrenkamp, prompting attendance at his funeral. Meanwhile UNC researchers report a growth hormone isolated from blood, named sumnolomedia, seen as a breakthrough for dwarfism and cancer studies.

Mission Parkway Plans Unveiled for Bicentennial Project
City Council considered a $ B00,000 general fund draw to launch the Mission Parkway, aiming for completion in 1978. A bond issue may fund future phases of the 1,0 acre historic park linking to four missions in South San Antonio, with expected 1.3 million annual visitors. Al Eisenmenger of City Planning presented details, noting $704,00 already available for Stage T projects. The plan envisions adjoining open spaces, cross jurisdictional operation by county, state, and Archdiocese of San Antonio, and incorporation of mission sites along the omission trail. A proposal for a nine member Comprehensive Planning Commission to oversee a city master plan was also unveiled, with the current Planning Commission to be renamed the Zoning and Platting Commission.
