Me. Justice Whittakek,
concurring.
The core of the Fourth Amendment prohibiting unreasonable searches-applies to the States through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Wolf v. Colorado, 338 U. S. 25. I understand the Court’s opinion to adhere fully to that principle. And being convinced that the health inspector’s request for permission to enter petitioner’s premises in midday for' the sole purpose of attempting to locate the habitat of disease-carrying rodents known to be somewhere in the immediate area was not a request for permission to make, and that the Code procedures followed did not amount to enforce*374ment of, an unreasonable search within the méaning of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments, I join the opinion of the Court.
