Juan Hamilton, undersecretary of the interior, estimated that two million Pleas To Stop Diamond Head Lots Sale Fail Last-ditch efforts by citizens to head off the sale of four lots on Diamond Head appeared to have failed last night.

But Governor Burns told a member of a citizens' group late last night he would turn the matter over to the State attorney general this morning to see if there was action possible from that office. Burns told The Advertiser there was nothing he could do to prevent the sale of the four lots when they come up for bidding at 10 a.m. today, along with 49 others, at the National Guard armory at Ft. Ruger. A citizens' group was formed Friday to try to prevent the sale.

Coordinating the group is George S. Wheaton, executive vice president of the Dillingham Corp. Wheaton said a substantial part of the $75,450 upset price on the lots had been raised by last night.

Taylor, declaring that there is "an air of optimism" in South Viet Nam, returned here yesterday for high-level consultations on the future course of U.S. policy military and political in Southeast Asia. At Andrews Air Force Base outside the capital, where his plane touched down after a flight from Saigon and Honolulu, the ambassador said it was "too early to talk about negotiations or ending the war" despite the optimism he mentioned.
