In Search Case
WASHINGTON, June 9 (U. Pg— The. supreme court today refused to reconsider its recent decision broadening the powers of search. and seizure by federal agents. The: tribunal turned down a plea by George Harris of Oklahoma City for a rehearing on the 5 to 4 decision of May 5 upholding his convietion for illegal possession of draft cards. Discovery of the cards came during an exhaustive five-hour search of Harris’ apartment by FBI agents
afternoon. In the biggest raid of the 24-hour invasion of emporiums of chance, police marched 23 men out of a store at 22 W. Ohio st. at 1 p. m. yesterday.. They charged Albert Bluestein, 50. of 2333 N. Delaware st., and Gabe Cohen, 40, of 1401 N.

The four dissenting justices said the original decision encroached on the fourth amendment to the constitution, which secures private citizens from unreasonable searches.

The lawyers complained that the majority decision was the greatest inroad into protective features of the. amendment in .supreme court history.
