Volunteers fail to find missing girl CLANCY (AP) More than 100 volunteers aided by tracking dogs scoured mountains east of here Monday during the third day of the search for 4-year-old Nyleen Marshall who disappeared while on a family outing Saturday afternoon. Authorities said search efforts were hampered by rain and thundershowers that periodically swept over the area. Officials said the child was barefoot and wearing shorts and a T-shirt when she apparently wandered off while playing near beaver dams on Mau-pin Creek, about 15 miles south of Helena in northern Jefferson County. Officials said the child had been with her par Sunday. Sheriff Tom Dawson said all known mine shafts in the area had been checked out.

Volunteers were held back Monday morning while five tracking dogs and their trainers searched the area. Marshall, whose other children a 6-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl were being cared for by friends, said he and wife were "holding up." The family lives in the Alhambra area south of Clancy. Marshall said the search response from fellow members of the Mormon Church, friends and neighbors was "overwhelming." He urged that volunteers coordinate with authorities. "It's bad enough that our daughter is out there. We don't want anybody else lost or hurt," he said.

An estimated 200 had combed the creek bottoms and mountain ridges Sunday without success.

After From Gazette News Services WASHINGTON States scrambling to head off higher taxes on citizens won a multimillion-dollar victory Monday when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a controversial method of taxing income of worldwide corporations. The 5-3 ruling upheld California's formula, also used in some form by 22 other states, for taxing the total income of multinational corporations doing business in the state. The dispute involved whether states could include the portion of a company's earnings from foreign subsidiaries in calculating a multinational's state tax bill. If the court had ruled out inclusion of overseas subsidiaries' income, states would have lost at least $625 million a year, the Multistate Tax Commission estimated. Defending the system, the states argued it prevents large companies from avoiding taxes by shuffling profits among subsidiaries.

Montana Department of Revenue officials hailed the court's ruling. "This is good news. Hopefully, it will discourage a lot of appeals," said Jeff Miller, chief of the department's corporation tax bureau. Miller said Montana has calculated the taxes paid by multi-national corporations generally the same way California does, and has since the early 1970s. Most of the corporations have not paid taxes under protest that have been collected on this basis, he said.

That means Montana won't receive a lot of disputed tax money as a result of the court several weeks of waiting for high-altitude winds that didnt materialize, the pair of adventurers moved to Rapid City, S.D.

A police spokesman at the village of Bad Brueckenau said Anderson and Ida's when Anderson radioed to the airport for help. i While in Billings in October, the two balloonists talked about their love of adventuring in long-distance balloons. An airplane pilot at 14, the 48-year-old Anderson had been flying balloons for a dozen years.

"It's like a new frontier," Anderson said. "You wonder what's over the next hill, past the next cloud, what's gonna happen next. Yor're working on a very thin edge and you know that." Ida, a 49-year-old Longmont, greenhouse owner, also recognized the danger of his sport, but he had never been hurt In a balloon until Monday. "There's hazards out there in life no matter where you are," Ida had told The Gazette. Earlier Monday, in Albuquerque, Kris Anderson, who along with his father made a transcontinental flight from San Francisco to Quebec in May 1980, said he received word of his father's death from his sister.

"We heard from my sister who's in Paris. And I guess we really don't know if it's confirmed I kind of think it must be," a sobbing Anderson said. Jim Rosel, corporate secretary for Ranchers Exploration Corp. of Albuquerque, Anderson's mining firm, said, "We got confirmation through the German search and rescue unit" of the death of Anderson and Ida. 1 i v.

Vatican sources, who asked not to be identified, also said Rev.

Virgilio Levi, the deputy director of the official Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano who disclosed the agreement in an editorial, was fired with the pope's approval. In Poland, sources In the banned Solidarity labor union underground also said a deal probably was struck during Walesa's meeting with the pope but said John Paul told Walesa the lifting of martial law would depend on whether Solidarity stopped demonstrating in the streets. But they made no mention of Walesa stepping down as part of the deal. The sources in Walesa's hometown of Gdansk said the Solidarity leadership was at odds over the package, and some leaders were reluctant to accept it. Levi, a former Jew who became a Catholic priest, wrote Walesa was considered an "inconvenient person" who had to suffer for the common good of his fellow Poles.

The sources, all close to the Vatican's Secretariat of State, said the pope "reluctantly" urged Walesa to assume a sideline position, at least temporarily, The pope discussed details of the agreement, including Walesa's proposed withdrawal from the political scene, during his two meetings with Polish military leader, Gen.

Bob Silva, of the Mesa County Sheriff's office, said. Downstream, officials said weekend rainfall in the Rocky Mountains will require further release of floodwaters on top of the flow that has already caused flooding for more than a week In Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, California and Mexico. The river, which began to rise June 20 with the release of water from brimful federal reservoirs, has claimed at least six lives, all but one In Mexico. 1 The flooding has resulted from the runoff of a record snowpack, which filled reservoirs to the bursting point and required the voluminous releases. Releases are expected to continue until September, wiping out much of the lucrative summer tourism season along the river.

Residents of Grand Junction's Connected Lakes and Riverside subdivisions were evacuated Sunday when the river reached its highest level in Grand Junction in 66 years. Shortly before the embankment gave way Silva said, "The hopes and prayers of the people are all that's holding the dike together." Lt. Gov. Nancy Dick, acting as the state's chief executive in the absence of Gov. Richard Lamm, declared a state of emergency in the Grand Junction area.
