Seattle, Wash, Wash, Jan. S. (UP)-"Grandpa" Walter D. Brom- ley, 51, intends to avenge the death of his two sons who were killed al Pearl Harbor. He enlisted in the navy.
 Bromley, grandfather of a five year-old girl, offered his services to the navy the day after the Japanese attack on Hawaii. The navy said he was too old. The age limit for en- listed men is 50.
 He didn't know then that his un- married sons. Jimmy. 25, and George 21, enlisted men aboard the U. s. & Arizona, had been killed at Pearl Harbor. When he learned of their deaths, he renewed his application.
 Comlndr. M. J.. McNulty, Seattle recruiting officer, recommended to the navy department, that 1t waive the age limit, and 1t agreed.
 "It's the happiest news of my life, ? Bromley said.
 He traded a $8.2S daily wage at a Tacoma door manufacturing firm for $60 a month as a third-class car- penter's mate.
 Appearing 10 years younger than his age, he easily passed the physi- cal examination. But his third son. Walter, IT,, 18, ha dless luck. Re- jected for color blindness, Walter. Jr., returned to his job at the Boe- ing Aircraft factory.
 Bromleys wife, Ruby. enthusias- ticaly endorsed his plans. She will will live with her two married daughters at Tacoma.
 Her husband was sworn into ser vice yesterday and sent to the Puget Sound navy yard, awaiting assigi- nent

 It was indicated that the main fighting lines remained in Perak province and that, after retiring to another of the successive defense lines prepared in advance, the em- pire troops had stopped the Japan ese and compeleld them to halt for reorganization of their advanced units.
 A communique admitted that the Japanese had succeeded in landing additional men In Borneo. The landing was effected at Weston, on the eastern side of Brunei bay.
 Japanese planes made deter mined attempt to reach vital ob- jectives in the Singapore area in dawn attack today but were driven off by tremendous anti aircraft gun barrage and by fighters which challenged them in the bright moonlight.
 Japanese Failed
 The Japanese failed to reach any of their objectives, 1t was asserted, and their few bombs were jet tiSoned wildly.
 Twenty-four Japanese planes had raided the Singapore area Saturday night. They caused negligible dam age, a communiqe said. and a few civilian casualties. One Japanese plane was so badly damaged, it was believed unlikely it reached base. No details were available as to the Japanese armored vehicles which had been put into the Perak province front on the west side of Malaga.
