THE EIGHTH TRIBE May, 1979 Zoltán Merszei Joins Occidental Petro Zoltán Merszei resigned as chairman of the giant Dow Chemical Corporation to join Occidental Petro. The 56-year-old Merszei is a native of Hungary. As the vice-chairman of Occidental Mr. Merszei will have a good chance to succeed Armand Hammer, the 80-year-old head of Occidental. According to Mr. Hammer there will be plenty of action at Occidental and they hope Mr. Merszei will make another Dow Chemical of Hooker Chemical (a division of Occidental.) At any rate we can safely assume that our energetic fellow Magyar will do justice to his new position. Good luck Zoltán.
