George R. Ditomassi Jr., group vice president of Hasbro Inc. of New York, has assumed direct responsibility for the company’s Milton Bradley division in addition to his other duties.

Hasbro said that Ditomassi is taking over the responsibilities of John W. O’Donnell, who resigned as president of Milton Bradley effective in December. O’Donnell, who cited personal reasons for his departure, reported to Ditomassi.

Hasbro said it has not decided whether Ditomassi will assume the title of Milton Bradley president. Ditomassi, who has been with Milton Bradley for 25 years, was executive vice president of the company before Hasbro acquired it in 1984.
