Snow halts Homestake Pass traffic near Butte
Snow and ice blocked Homestake Pass on Interstate 15 southwest of Butte forcing a morning car ban without chains and a midday full closure to westbound traffic. By Friday afternoon normal travel resumed but officials urged caution and limited travel due to ongoing conditions. A four wheel drive restriction applied on side roads with three feet of snow in higher areas. A truck blocked Blacktail Creek Canyon road, delaying summer-home access. A band of horses along the highway prompted sheriff's office calls.

Vietnam War may cost billions prompting tax hike
The Vietnam conflict could push 1968 costs $5 billion above budget, forcing President Johnson to seek a larger tax surcharge than the proposed 6 percent. If deficits widen, the federal shortfall may reach about $15 billion in the year starting July 1. Officials briefed business leaders at a spring council meeting. Economists say delaying any tax increase until October or later may be necessary to avoid an economic soft patch.
