 National OPA Administrator Prem tiss M. Brown ordered the meat priority system set tip in Providence yesterday, and because Rhode Island is so compact, Del Sesto expanded the order to encompass the entire state. Similar programs already are under way in two cities, San Fran cisco and Los Angeles.
 Del Sesto said he would appoint a I1ine-man advisory committee, in- cluding representatives of labor, agriculture and the retail meat trade, to confer with him weekly
