ALIENATION SUIT
 FILED HERE TODAY
Hartford Man Also Alleges False Arrest; Asks $N,-
 900 Damages

Damages of $20,000 are sought by James Matola of Hartford in a joint alienation of affection and false accusation suit filed in the superior court today against Harry w. Hagen of Wallingford. The com- plaint charges the defendant in- duced the plaintiffs wife to leave her home, and also that the de- fendant falsely caused the plain tiff's arrest in Wallingford on a charge of theft.
 The court writ states the plain tiff and his wife, Julia, were mar ried August 3, 1944 and were living happily together in Hartford. On Sept. l, 1944, the defendant came to Hartford and by his "arts, blan- dishments, and seductionS" alienat- ed the love and affection of the plaintiffs wife and destroyed the happiness of his home, the com plaint states. The writ adds that the defendant induced Mrs. Matola to leave the plaintiff and go live with him in Wallingford.
 In the second count of the complaint, the plaintiff states Hagen complained about him or July 29 of this year to the prosecut- ing attorney in Wallingford and that as a result he was accused and foundt guilty of the crime of theft. On his appeal to the com- mon pleas court in New Haven he was acquitted on the crimina: charges, he points out. Various ar- ticles of jewelry and household items were listed in the criminal accusa- tion.
 The Hartford man claims his reputation as 8 business man has been injured, and his health has been impaired. His defense on the criminal charge cost him $500, the complaint states. He seeks 0,00C on the alienation count and $10,0oC on the false accusation charge.
 Avis Daniel of Waterbury today withdrew from the superior court docket here 5000 alienation of at- lection suit against Hazed Zwiebel of Waterbury. Terms of settlement were not disclosed.
 The plaintiff, the wife of Irving Daniel of this city, claimed the de- fendant last May alienated the. love and affection of MT. Daniel. AS a result he neglected and abandoned her, the wife claimed. The couple previously lived in Bethlehem.

New Officials
 To Tuke Oath
BY R. H. SHACKFORD United Press Correspondent

Washington, December 20. - (UP) - The "tea1n" of assistants picked by Edward R. Stettinius, Jr. to help direct American foreign pol icy will be sworn into office today and begin immediately the promised reorganization of the State Depart ment.
 The oath-taking ceremonies fol the new undersecretary and the five new assistant secretaries will take place in the secretarys office - the new redecorated and refurnished quarters where Stettinius took the oath as President Roosevelt's No. cabinet officer on December l.
 The Senate confirmed the six nominations late yesterday just be- fore sine die adjournment, but only after President Roosevelt personally intervened to break 8 revalt led by New Dealers against approval of the men.
 Joseph c. Grew was confirmed, 6t to 2, to be Undersecretary of State Roll calls quickly followed on the five assistant secretaries - William L. Clayton, 52 to 19; James c. Dunn 62 to 10; Major General Julius c Holmes, 61 to g.; Archibald Mac. Leish, 43 to 25, and Nelson Rocke. feller, 62 to g.
 Confirmation of the men to form the new State Department higl command came two weeks and ont day after the President had sent tht first four of the nominations to tht Senate. The opposition was an un. usual combination of ardent New Dealers who thought all but Mac. Leish too conservative" and arden opponents of administration foreigr policy who opposed all the appoint. mentS.
 MacLeish turned out to be tho least popular member of the new secretaries, g of his 25 adverse vote! coming from Republicans. Grew, 64-year-old career diplo- mat with 40 years of service, be- comes Stettinius' chief assistant as underSecretary-a post vacated by Stettinius when he succeeded Cor dell Hull. Grew served from 1881 to 1941 as ambassador to Japan and was expected to continue tc be the departments expert on Fla, Eastern affairs.
 Here are sketches of the new as- sistant secretaries and their dutie: in the reorganized department: Clayton - 54-year-old Houston Tex, cotton broker who will be ir charge of an expanded division oi foreign economic affairs. Clayton was one of the special targets oi New Deal senators.
 Dunn-Former director of thu Oflce of European Affair and q career diplomat since World War who will have charge of all of the departments political geographical divisions except Latin America. Hc will be 54 years old next Wednes- day.
