Higgins, a local businessman, failed to ELAND show up for his scheduled sentencing Feb. 3 before Washtenaw Circuit Court CAMP Judge Henry Conlin. "HE DIDN'T show up and I don't think anyone expected him to," said Higgins' attorney Seymour Floyd. Floyd said he hasn't seen Higgins since just before his trial. December 2 , 36-year-old Higgins was convicted of assault with a dangerous weapon because he allegedly threatened demonstrators at a gay pride rally on June 26 with a shotgun. No shots were fired, however. Higgins' conviction carries a maximum penalty of four years in jail and a $2,000 fine. There is a warrant out for Higgins' arrest. No further sentencing date will be set until Higgins is apprehended. $9900 $8900* 0 Non-Specialty Soft Contact Lenses from Bausch & Lomb and American Hydron. *Contact lens prices indIude ey examination, follow-up visits and 30-day trial wearing plan.

Shapiro O.D. _i Police probe Lansing murders LANSING-Authorities yesterday still were sorting out a mysterious out burst of violence in which a man allegedly stabbed two young women to death before being gunned down by poice. Killed in the incident on the city's east side Wednesday night were Emma Cook, 25, her sister, Jacqueline Cook, 26 and Louis Robinson, 32, all of Lan- sing. Police Capt. Jerry Mills said officers became involved when a cab driver reported seeing a man with a long knife chasing a young woman. The officers entered a home where they found Robinson assaulting Emma Cook, Mills said. Robinson was shot in the chest after ignoring officers' or- ders to stop, he said. Officers subsequently found Jacqueline Cook's body at a residence the two women shared about two blocks away, Mills said. Mondale assails Glenn tax plan Democratic presidential front-runner Walter Mondale likened JohA Glenn's tax plan yesterday to "voting for Reaganomics twice," and said it would cost the average family nearly $900 a year in higher taxes. Replied Glenn: "I think he's flat wrong." The former vice president attacked the Ohio Democrat while Sen. Alan Cranston outlined a plan to cut President Reagan's record defense budget for next year by $38 billion and Sen. Ernest Hollings complained that the American naval bombardment off Lebanon is "bluff and gusto" R The campaign of a fifth Democratic presidential contender, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, got a boost when the Federal Election Commission certified him for federal campaign matching funds. The first installment is for $100,000. And Sen. George McGovern attacked Reagan for an "abomination b religious faith" in his re-election campaign. "He ignores the Judeo-Christian mandate to feed the hungry and minister to the poor, yet he repeatedly invoked the name of Jesus" in a recent speech before religious broadcasters, McGovern said in Iowa. Astronauts rescue equipment CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.--Bundled in their bulky suits, Challenger' exuberant spacewalkers performed an impromptu rescue yesterday, snat- ching back a piece of equipment as it drifted toward the junkyard of space. They flew free and joyously, propelled by bursts of nitrogen gas from their, backpacks: But the day was not without its disappointment-the latest in , long series for this shuttle crew. The "wrist" on the shuttle's robot arn refused to respond to commands, canceling a docking rehearsal with a rotating object. "The view is simply spectacular and panoramic," astronaut Bruce Mc Candless told President Reagan when he made his customary once-a mission call to the shuttle. Earlier pessimism that bad weather would again delay or cancel a first landing tomorrow at Florida's Kennedy Space Center turned to optimism as an expected weather front stalled over Texas. "Right now it's looking real good for KSC," the astronauts were told. From mission control came applause when McCandless reached over the side of the spaceship and, like a child pulling at a balloon, retrieved a foot restraint that had broken loose and was floating away. He was on his safety line at the time. Volkswagen announces plan to open E. German engine plant WOLFSBURG, West Germany-Volkswagen, West Germany's Leading car maker, said yesterday it plans a $222 million agreement with East Ger- many to produce 286,000 engines annually in the communist country begin- ning in 1988. A Volkswagen spokesman said the agreement, believed the first of its kind between a West German car firm and East Germany, involves an engine assembly line that would deliver 100,000 motors annually to the company's' West German plant in Salzgitter. East Germany could use the remainder of the 286,000 engines for its own automobile production, he said. The West German government yesterday welcomed Volkswagen's an- nouncement. "This project is both advantageous and profitable for both sides," said Chancellery Minister of State Philip Jenninger. Financial observers said the contract would be particularly advantageous to East Germany because it requires no Western credits, West Germany gains the prospect of future long-term industrial agreements with its East bloc neighbor. Avalanches, floods hit Europe FRANKFURT, West Germany-Fierce winds drove rain and snow across Western Europe yesterday, killing at least 17 people. Dozens of avalanches buried 12 people in the Alps, blizzards isolated thousands, and floodwaters rose in Holland, Belgium and West Germany. Scores of injuries were reported as the death toll in this week's storms rose to 32. Hardest-hit were the alpine ranges in France, Austria and eastern Swit-. zerland, swept by blizzards and high winds for a third day. Tens of thousan- ds of people were stranded by the snow. Avalanche warnings were in effect for most of the region. In the Austrian Tirol, avalanches killed at least seven people, including three children. Among the victims were an 11-year-ofd girl and her 12-year- old brother, who died when tons of slow destroyed part of a chalet in the village of Galtuer as they slept.
