(Cardinal Ermenegildo rellegrinetti, a distinguished Vatican diplomat and once secretary to the late Pope Pius XI, died in Rome late tonight, the Rome radio said in a broadcast recorded by the Associated1 Press. Cardinal Pellegrinetti, who was among those mentioned in 1939. as a possible successor to Pope Pius XI, was 67. A linguist of note, Cardinal Pellegrinetti spoke almost a dozen tongues. Because of this ability, the Italian government asked him to serve as censor of the mail of war prisoners in the first World War.

Refusing to involve Itself In a jurisdictional dispute, the National Labor Relations Board here yesterday dismissed the petition of the A.F.L. International Association of Machinists for a collective bargaining election at Timm Aircraft three plants "because of conflicting claims between the Machinists Union and the Carpenters' Union. The election already had been set last January, when the A.F.L. Brotherhood of Carpenters demanded a place on the ballot, claiming jurisdiction over woodworkers involved. "Furthermore," said the N.L.R.B.

ruling, "since the C.I.O. has failed to show that it represents a substantial number of the production and maintenance employees at any of the three plants, we do not consider it necessary at this time to make any further findings as to the things, with the question of recruiting a huge land army of boys, girls and women. Mr. As his chief assistant Davis named Jesse W. Tapp, a vice-president of the Bank of America and former president of the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation.

(JP) Leaders of major farm organizations are expected to urge President Roosevelt tomorrow to give Food Administrator Chester C.

Davis greater authority over farm prices. The Chief Executive has invited to a White House conference Davis, Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation; James Fatton, president of the National Farmers' Union; Albert S. Goss, master of the National Grange, and Ezra T. Benson, president of the National Council of Farmer Co-operatives.

It was indicated the meeting will consider all food production problems with particular emphasis on ways of meeting the shortages of farm labor and Matter of Irice Fixing Price fixing is expected to come sharply to the forefront, since O'Neal, Goss and Benson contend Davis must have complete authority in the price field or operate under a great handicap in undertaking ta assure that the nation's wartime food needs are met. Davis, who took a leave from the presidency of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank to become Food Administrator, gave immediate attention to the farm labor situation as he assumed his duties today. He called in Wayne H. Darrow, director of the Agricultural Labor Administration.

Their discussions presumably dealt, among other conference and were 'in com plete agreement on administra tion and policy matters." During the day the White House deprecated reports cur rent in farm organization cir cles that Wickard might resign as Secretary of Agriculture and become head of a special com mission to co-ordinate food production programs of the United Nations. In response to mquir ies, Presidential Secretary Stephen Early said, with refer ence to news stories about these reports, that Mr. Roosevelt was "very sorry that the boys would not learn and would continue to write themselves out on the end of a limb, and particularly sorry to see that the Associated Press had not learned after 10 years' experience with him." CIVILIANS PUT AHEAD OF MILITARY ON MEAT Continned From First rage counters, which in recent weeks have been displaying nothing but fish, cheese and an occasional tray of meat. In some districts there was meat aplenty, but usually in the butcher shops that had supplies before point rationing. Other areas, which saw their first meat in quantity, quickly sold out the supply.

Many 'Shoot Works' By and large, an independent check of nearly 80 markets from East Los Angeles to Beverly Hills, and from Hollywood to the southwest part of the city, Showed more meat in more stores than at any time since the famine hit There was no doubt that a large part of the city had been meat hungry for weeks.

(U.R) Well-informed officials disclosed tonight that 24,000,000 cans of tomatoes, corn and other vegetables will be released probably next week from Army stocks for civilian use. They said the supply comprises some 2,000,000 cases of assorted vegetables.

The surplus, it was said, was accumulated by the Army through increased of dehydrated food3 in shipments to troops overseas. expressed the opinion that any extra amount of meat found on the local market yesterday indicated only a temporary improve-ment. He had- not, however, heard of the O.P.A. order instructing packers to turn over all their product to civilians. Campion explained that many packers are loath to slaughter under existing conditions which place a ceiling on the price of beef, but none on the price of livestock.

Thus, he said, packers cannot operate at a profit because of higher wages and costs. "One packer told me today that unless something is done to remedy the matter he is slowing down production to a walk," he said. Butchers here, until the O.P.A. order, had been limited to 50 per of their sales of last Septem-ber. Restaurant men were not immediately able to tell what effect the relaxing of the meat regulations here would have on their industry.

William N. Bradford, executive vice-president of the Southern California Restaurant Association, said small cafes were in a tight spot and the "industry in the main is not overly alarmed but must use more and more ingenuity." "All calls and checks indicate a bad set of jitters among restaurant men because of the negligible amount of meat available," Bradford said. Some of the larger restaurants have considerable storage facilities and are weathering the situation in good shape, he said. Meanwhile a spokesman for local poultry dealers announced price schedule changes that will mean slight increases in the cost to the public. From now on kosher-killed fowl will cost 10 cents more per bird for the service.

Also an additional charge of 10 cents will be made for each fowl plucked. New Toint Schedules Failure of the O.P.A. to send new point ration schedules to local stores for canned and dried foods, for which point values were changed over the week-end, yesterday resulted in some confusion at markets. S. M.

White, secretary-man-ager of the Southern California Retail Grocers' Association, praised newspapers for printing the information but said some grocers apparently failed to notice the new rules and had not yet received the new O.P.A. charts. He said the new lists of point values are expected this week. TTom nere believe their eyes on seeing trays of fresh-cut beef and pork, "shot the works" and spent all 16 of the week's ration, points on the first day. On the other hand, there were some buyers who ignored meat counters entirely.

They proceeded at once to the butter cabinets and shelves containing rationed edible fats and oils. They promptly stocked up to the limit of their coupon book or books. Butter in Evidence One woman, who immediately walked off with two pounds of butter, remarked slyly: "I've got plenty of meat." Butter, fats and oils, the sale of which had been frozen for a week, were much more in evidence, proportionately, than meat, which is now due to increase under the O.P.A. order giving 'all the local kill to the public.
