oath showing instances where employees have worked in excess of hours of labor permitted by law.[46] Without violating either the Fourth or Fifth Amendments, a judicial decree enjoining illegal practices under the Antitrust Act may provide that the Department of Justice shall be given access to all records and documents of the corporation relating to the matter covered by the decree.[47] The Supreme Court has intimated, however, that record keeping requirements must be limited to data which are relevant to the effective administration of the law.[48] Search and Seizure Incidental to Arrest The right to search the person upon arrest has long been recognized[49] but authority to search the premises upon which the arrest is made has been approved only in recent years. In Agnello _v._ United States,[50] the Supreme Court asserted that: "The right without a search warrant contemporaneously to search persons lawfully arrested while committing crime and to search the place where the arrest is made in order to find and seize things connected with the crime as its fruits or as the means by which it was committed, as well as weapons and other things to effect an escape from custody, is not to be doubted."[51] Books and papers used to carry on a criminal enterprise, which are in the immediate possession and control of a person arrested for commission of an offense in the presence of the officers may be seized when discovered in plain view during a search of the premises following the arrest.[52] The lawful arrest of persons at their place of business does not justify a search of desks and files in the offices where the arrest is made and seizure of private papers found thereon.[53] A search which is unlawfully undertaken is not made valid by the evidence of crime which it brings to light.[54] By a five to four decision in Harris _v._ United States[55] the Court sustained, as an incident to a lawful arrest, a five hour search by four federal officers of every nook and cranny of a four-room apartment. It also upheld the seizure of papers unrelated to the crime for which the arrest was made, namely, Selective Service Registration cards which were discovered in a sealed envelope in the bottom of a bureau drawer. In justification of this conclusion, Chief Justice Vinson wrote: "Here the agents entered the apartment under the authority of lawful warrants of arrest.
