Declarer ruffed, drew two rounds of trumps, and played the A-K of clubs. West showed out, and South, who now could not ruff his three club losers with only two trumps, had to go down one. Several declarers made the slam by adopting a slightly sounder line of play. It was only a small difference, but it paid off.

They realized that the only real danger in the hand was the possibility of a 5-1 or 6-0 club division, and they took steps designed to overcome that possibility. They played only one round of trumps before cashing the A-K of clubs, and this allowed them to ruff three clubs in dummy and so make the slam. It's true that by adopting this method of play the successful declarers ran the risk of West ruffing the second club lead. However, if it had turned out that West had a singleton club and two trumps, the slam could not be made by any line of play and nothing would be lost by failing to draw a second round of trumps. The best a declarer can do in such situations is guard against whatever he can, and not worry about situations that might exist which he cannot protect against.

There are Bugs Bunny T-shirts for sale at Great America, and Bugs Bunny hats and even a Bugs Bunny watch. "Our answer to the Mickey Mouse watch," said Burtch. The decision to build an amusement park apparently scared some stockholders the stock plunged from about $28 a share to $6 after the plans were announced.

It has since rebounded to about $17. Earnings in 1975 were 68 cents a share, and so far are up 26 per cent in fiscal 1976, the company says. Sales are expected to reach nearly $900 million this year, up 15 per cent from fiscal 1975. When Marriott decided to enter the amusement park business, corporation executives conducted a search of competing parks and recruited a management team with more than 500 combined years of experience in the business. Hired as general manager was Truman Woodworth, a Disney cameraman in the depression who later rose to director of facilities at Disneyland.

Marriott gave Mel Miller, a former curator of the Ringling Bros, circus museum, responsibility for Great America's atmosphere and authenticity. To design the park, Marriott hired Randall Duell, a former Hollywood set designer who was also the architect for Six Flags, the Carrowinds and other major theme parks. Marriott also hired a research company to conduct demographic studies and find the best available park locations. The final sites were chosen for two reasons no major competition within 200 miles, and when all three parks are completed, 70 per cent of the nation's population will be within a 500-mile radius of one of them. Unlike Disneyland, which is a worldwide tourist attraction, Great America will advertise primarily on a regional basis.

Burtch predicted that 80 per cent of the visitors here will be from Northern California; the rest from Southern California and conventions in San Francisco.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP)-In 1927, J.

Williard Marriott opened a nine-stool root beer stand in Washington. D.C., financed mostly with high hopes. In the 49 years since then, Marriott's Hot Shoppe has grown into a three-quarter billion dollar worldwide conglomerate of hotels and resorts, restaurants, airline caterers and cruise ships. Now Marriott has taken a $140-million leap into the amusement park business. Two identical 65-acre parks, both called Great America, will combine peaches-and-cream, turn-of-the-century nostalgia with dozens of thrill rides, restaurants and gift shops.

The first park, which, includes a reproduction of Marriott's original root beer stand, opened a month ago 45 miles south of San Francisco where a pear orchard once flourished. It's expected to attract 2.8 million visitors and gross $33 million over a 140-day season this year. The second park opened north of Chicago Saturday and a third is planned for the Washington area. The parks are a seeming departure for Marriott second only to Holiday Inn in total lodging dollars and McDonald's in total food dollars. But J.

W. Marriott president and chief executive officer, says he "couldn't be more optimistic about this new business of ours. "We know, for instance, that about 40 per cent of Disney World's revenues come from food services and lodging. As successful specialists in those fields, Great America well into our policies and abilities." With 19 restaurants Inside the park, "we have more food service than any other park of this kind," he said. A Marriott Inn also is going up nearby for visitors who want to stay overnight.

Another good reason for the field, said Marriott, is that theme parks like Great America and Disneyland "are one of the real growth segments of the leisure time industry. "Attendance has grown almost 400 per cent in 10 years. Last year, it was 40 per cent greater than the combined number of spectators at professional football, baseball and basketall games. Family entertainment is coming back in full force." Visitors are bound to Great America with Disneyland, and Marriott officials believe this will work positively for them. "It's good if people think we're of the Disneyland quality," said Bruce Burtch, the park's public affairs manager-Like Disneyland, Great America is divided into sections or "themed areas." Disney has Frontierland and Main-street, U.S.
