District 10 Cut Back
Number Of Roomers
In Restricted Areas
Wartime Relaxation
Of Rules Ordered
Ended by June 30 j

The District Zoning Commits
sion moved today to cut back the
number Of paying roomers In re-
stricted residential areas to pre-
war limits.
In a ruling announced by Rob-
ert c. Clouser, commission secre-
tary, the commission ordered that
wartime amendments relaxing
regulations on boarding house
occupancy to help meet the then
critical housing shortage be al
lowed to dies as of June 30.
This means that as of that date
no more than two roomers Will
be allowed in homes in restricted
residential areas without obtain
ing q special certificate Of occu-
pancy permit from authorities.
5000 Occupied Rooms.
It was estimated that perhaps
5000 persons were occupying
rooms in residential areas at the
heights of the housing shortage
but how many have since moved
is undetermined.
Today's action was actually an
extension Of the wartime amend
ments until June 80. Technically
they had expired October /. Mr..
Clouser said the extension was
solely to provide a grace" period
during which property owners
could rearrange their residence.
Shortly after Pearl Harbor, the
commission extended the two
roomer limit to four for which no
occupancy permit was necessary.
Some six months later this action
was revised to permit an in
definite number provided the
Board of Zoning Adjustment ap-
proved each case. Where five or
more roomers were taken in, a
license was required along with
the occupancy permit.
Hearings Barred.
Today's extension will die auto
matically June 80. Mr.. Clouser
said. No further consideration
in the form Of hearings to extend
the amendments will be consid-
cred, he said.
In other actions, the commits
sion:
Approved a proposal to rezone

Tactics Of Police
In Breaking Into
Home Barred
Appeals Court Upsets
Gaming Conviction on
WorruntIess Search

Even after following a mans
movements and even If they have
cause to suspect him of violating
the law, police cannot force their
way into his home without q war
rant, the United States Court Of
Appeals ruled today. The decision
reversed an earlier one by the
District court.
The ruling was handed down
on the appeal of Lawrence Acca-
rino, SO, .of the 1900 block of
Downing place NE, who was
convicted on gambling charges
after police broke into his apart
ment to arrest him.
It was the second time within
q year that a higher court has
ruled against the police on their
tactics in making gambling ar
rests. In the first case. the Su-
preme Court reversed a District
Court decision in which two men
had been arrested on gambling
charges by police who said they
saw evidence of a violation Of the
law as they looked through q
transom irr the mans home.
That conviction, which became
known as the "transom peeping
case," was upheld by the Court of
Appeals.
One Exception Made.
Today's appellate decision made
only one exception when police
can forcibly enter a home without
a warrant to make an arrest. That
is when a serious felony has been
committed and it Is necessary for
police to smash their way into a
private residence to prevent the
escape of the suspected criminal.
In the Accarino incident, police
broke in the, door Of his home
when he failed to answer their
shouts. He subsequently was con-
victed and sentenced to 6 to II
months largely on the basis Of
documentary evidence" seized al
the time of his arrest. The ap-
peals court ordered q new trial
and barred introduction Of the
documentary evidence.
The evidence consisted Of pa
pers. envelopes. q pad and money
which the police said they found
in his possession after they had
broken In the door and arrested
Accarino.
. The police testified that they
had trailed Accarino to his apart.
ment after observing him for sew
eral days making stops at various
places.
No Attempt to Escape.
There was no reason for the
immediate arrest Of Accarino, the
court ruled. adding that there was
no attempt by the suspect to
escape.
The court laid emphasis on the
fact that before smashing their
way into a home. they first must
make known to the occupants
their reason for wanting to enter.
There is no claim in the case
at bar" the. court ruled, that
the officers advised the suspect
of the cause of the demand before
they broke down the door. Upon
that clear ground alone, the

PITTSBURGH, (H) - The CIO United Steelworkers today appeal ed to the steel industry to accept the Presidential boards peace recommendations to avert a strike September 25 and at the same time summoned its top strategists to plot the unions next move.

Hungarian Says He Plotted Overthrow Of Hungary
(By Endre Marton)

BU D APEST, Hungary, CP) - Laszlo Rajk, once Hungary's No. 2 communist, told a peoples court today he plotted with Americans and other Westerners to overthrow the communist government and make Hungary a "colony of Yugo- Slavia."
 Rajk, former interior minister and foreign minister in the com munist government, went on trial for his life with seven others against a background of a seething war of nerves between communist Yugoslavia and the Soviet-led na- tionS of the cominform.
 The former boss of Hungary's police pleaded guilty to all charges in the indictment. One of these was that he plotted with Marshal Tito's Yugoslav government to as sassinate leading Hungarian off cials.
 Rajk quickly named two Ameri- cans as accomplices. Heaving guilt upon his own head in a long recital to the court, he freely-almost eagerly-testified to contacts with British, French, American and Yu- goslav intelligence agents.
 (The trial was following a famil- far pattern. As in the case of the convicted Roman Catholic primate, Josef Cardinal Mindszenty. the defendants went on trial with the presumption that they were guilty until proved innocent. This is the opposite of most Western proceed ure.
 (The Yugoslav gove n m t charged last night that the trial was trumped up device of the Soviet Union for an "unbridled witchhunt" against Yugoslavia, and that it was based on lies and forgeries).
 The Americans named by Rajk were It. Col. George Kovacs, for merly stationed in Budapest, and a man named Martin Himmler.

 Russia is expected to ask for a new meeting of the Big Four for eign ministers when her top diplO- mat, Andrei Y. ViShinsky, arrives in New York for the United Ma tionS general assembly.
 All four ministers are slated to head their delegations at the Lake Success meeting which starts Tuesday. Britain's foreign secre- tary Ernest Bevin and French for eign minister Robert Schuman all ready are in the U. s.
 When the froeign ministers end- ed their Paris meeting on Ger many last June, they agreed to meet informally during the U. N. session to discuss their next meet ing.
 Informed sources in Moscow said VishinSky will seek an early conference. Major issues still to be solved include the possible future economic and political unity of Germany, an independent treaty for Austria and the reconciliation of divergent allied views on who should write Japanese peace treaty.
 Diplomatic circles in Washing ton predicted new blows against communism in Europe and the Far East might be struck during the cold war strategy talks now in progress in the American Capital.
 These talks, which Bevin and secretary of state Dean AcheSon began on Tuesday, were broaden ed today to include Schuman, who arrived from Paris last night.
 Top items for discussion include the developments of the new West German State, a review of negoti- atiOn with Russia on the Austrian treaty, exploitation of the Yugo- slavia-Russian split, and steps to halt communisc expansion in the Far East
 The cominform's private cold war continued with Yugoslavla de- nouncing as lies and islanders" recent Hungarian charges that Premier Marshal Tito's govern ment had plotted against Hun gary's communist regime.
 Foreign observers in Moscow said Russia would view gravely any Greek invasion of Albanian soil. These sources said recent Greek-Albanian developments as diplomatic dynamite" and added that any movement of Greek troops across the Albanian border would have serious consequences.
