BALTIMORE, Dec. 1.-Two Bal
timore landlords pleaded guilty yes
terday to rent-ceiling violations and
were fined by Judge William G.
Coleman in Federal Court.
They were DR.. Philip F. Gottling
and Harry Kornblatt, fined $50 and
SIS, respectively.
Thomas j. Kenney, assistant
United States attorney, told the
court DR.. Gottling had registered a
higher rental for three apartments
than the ceiling figure, but had ad-
vised he would not increase rent
charges.
Dr. Gottling had made the move,
Mr.. Kenney said, in order to be in q
position to charge subsequent ten
ants higher rentals.
Mr.. Kenney told the court Mr..
Kornblatt had registered falsely the
ceiling prices on two houses and an
apartment.
In imposing the fine, Judge Cole
man said he was taking into con-
sideration that Mr.. Kornblatt had
made or was preparing to make res
titution to his tenants for the over
charges.
