excites people, he said.
Hoffman is asking $68,500 for
the four-bedroom house.
Hoffman got the new car idea
from General Motors, which has
been making the same offer for
company-owned houses in the
Detroit area. But he said he is the
first to make such a offer in the
Kansas City metropolitan area.
“If it will work in Detroit, it will
work here, too, he said.

Industry poll praises tax plan
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — A large per
centage of major industies ques
tioned in a poll say the administra
tion’s tax plan will materially im
prove the economy.
The survey, by J.E. Fowler &
Associates management consul
tants, was the first such poll taken
after the plan had moved through
Congress.
An earlier poll, by the U.S.
Commerce Department, of simi
lar industries gave figures indicat
ing just the opposite, but it was
taken before the tax plan was
approved.
Joe Fowler, head of the Bur
bank, Calif, headquartered busi
ness, said the two polls show an
interesting difference in philo
sophies.
Fowler’s poll, which ques
tioned decision makers among the
top industries in the Fortune 500,
indicated that 93.6 percent
thought new tax legislation would
materially aid or improve the eco
nomy.
A total of 60 percent said the
new legislation would help control
inflation. Only 17.7 percent
thought it would not help.
Fowler’s poll, widely publi
cized after a significant portion of
reponses were gathered and tabu
lated, brought a response from
President Reagan.
In a letter to Fowler, the presi
dent said, “I was grateful to learn
the results of the survey that you
conducted among your clients.
“This expression of confidence
in our program for economic re
covery reflects the spirit needed
among our people to assure our
success.”
The president also said his
administration has “made sub
stantial inroads at controlling fed
eral spending, reducing tax rates
and curbing excessive regula
tions.”
He noted, however, that his
administration has not reached its
goals and there is plenty of work
ahead.
The fact is that many major cor
porations, particularly those in the
high technology fields, see the
president’s tax program and focus
on defense as a major stimulant
not only to the economy but to
their own industries.
“Here’s a point,” Fowler said.
“There have been other recent
surveys that indicated an optimis
tic outlook because of new tax
legislation. One of them said
clients took a ‘wait and see’ atti
tude and I interpret that as telling
us the Fortune 500 are reactionary
corporations.
“The media are reactionary,
but you can’t tell me a major cor
poration is reactionary. They have
master plans and one-year and
five-year forecasts, and they are
probably on the optimistic side.
