No specific news developments were responsible for the market's decline today. It has been falling ever since President Nixon announced the details of Phase 3 of his economic program on Jan. 11. THE CUMULATIVE loss in the Dow Jones index since then has been 55.24 points and it has declined in nine of the last 11 market sessions, demonstrating that Wall Street is concerned about the possibility will not trigger a new round of inflation.

In New York City, Herbert Stein, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, told a meeting of businessmen that the basic thrust of the administration's economic policy in 1973 will be to slow the rate of economic expansion to avoid a new outbreak of inflation. two trouble spots in this prospect." HE SAID one is pumped-up federal spending that would "release the same forces that caused earlier inflation" and a continued rapid rise in food prices. Shultz said the administration will resist both these dangers vigorously. He observed that the antiin-flationary policies of the last four years have sharply reduced the inflation rate.

HE SAID the government will be monitoring Phase 3 so "private behavior will be consistent with the national goal of reducing inflation to 2.5 per cent or less by the end of 1973." Shultz also indicated he is somewhat optimistic that upcoming major labor contracts From Tribune Wire Services WASHINGTON, Jan. 29- Treasury Secretary George Shultz told the Senate Banking Committee today that "prospects are exceedingly favorable for further economic -expansion and reduced inflation in 1973 and 1974."

John Sparkman banking committee chairman, said he is considering legislation to establish specific wage and price control guidelines as part of a one-year extension of the President's authority to impose controls. As for the next two years, Shultz said they can be "the best years in America's economic history but there are of renewed inflationary pressures and tight money.

By Alvin Nagelberg Real Estate Editor MARRIOTT CORP. is planning to build a giant theme park similar to Disneyland in Anaheim, CaL-on 650 acres of land near Gurnee, it was disclosed yesterday.

Marriott officials met with leaders of the tiny village in Lake County last night to discuss annexation of the land at Interstate 94 and Route 132. The amusement center, called Marriott's Great America, is expected to open in the spring of 1976 and attract 2 million persons a year from Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. MARRIOTT WILL spend $40 million on the initial development, said Tom Burke, vice president of corporate affairs for Marriott. Planning for the amusement park was disclosed exclusively in The Tribune Aug. 23, 1972, when it was revealed that William Brown vice president of Arthur Rubloff was assembling land for the THE BIG-Board's volume other 80 acres will be used for parking.

FUTURE PLANS call tor the development of a specialty plaza featuring restaurants and shops, a hotel, and light industry or a research and development park. There will be large areas of green space, Burke said. The theme park will employ 250 persons full-time and 1,500 on a part-time basis. The park will be open seven days a week during summers, and only on weekends in the spring and fall. It will be closed in the winter.

Marriott has established a separate division to handle the development of theme parks. "It's part of the corporate strategy to take advantage of the greater leisure time of families," Burke said.

The theme park will be one of three developed by Marriott. Another has been planned for the San Francisco area.

Marriott had intended to build an 800-acre amusement park at Columbia, but pulled out in the face of community resistance. A new site is being sought in the Baltimore-Washington, D. area. BURKE SAID the amusement center at Gurnee will be subdivided into sections and feature themes relating to various aspects of American heritage. Each section will have rides and restaurants keyed to an individual theme.

One area may resemble New Orleans, another the Yukon, he said. The full plan has not been developed yet. In charge of the planning is Randall Duell Associates, which has worked on Disneyland, Six Flags over Mid-America near St. Louis, and other theme (v The rides and restaurants in the Gurnee park will only cover 80 acres of the site, tho it could be expanded later.
