Cardinal Brennan Dies at Age 74; Native of State PHILADELPHIA A -Francis Cardinal Brennan, who began his service to the Roman Catholic Church as an altar boy in a small Pennsylvania coal town and rose to the highest Vatican post ever held by an American, died today. Cardinal Brennan, 74, was known as the "Quiet American" in Rome, where he headed the Roman Curia's Congregation of Sacrament.

Cardinal Brennan came to Philadelphia last June 17 for a series of tests and treatment at Misericordia Hospital. He had complained of feeling ill for about a month. He had been ill in Rome before deciding to fly here for treatment of an undisclosed ailment, a Miscrocordia Hospital spokesman said.

His father was a dentist. Cardinal Brennan was ordained a priest in 1920. He later received a doctoral degree in civil and canon law. The Sacred Rota in Rome is the highest Vatican court of appeal. It deals with such cases as the annulment of marriages.

Cardinal Brennan became the first American to be named to thc Rota, where he was an auditor, or judge, for 19 years. He became head of the tribunal in 1959 and was given the title of Monsignor. Pope Paul VI nominated Msgr. Brennan to the College of Cardinals on May 29, 1967. The cardinal remained in Rome and worked on the Roman Curia, the name of the Church's administrative, legislative and jucicia' bodies.

Pope Paul named Cardinal Brennan as thc head of the Curia's Congregation of the Sacraments Jan. 15.
