BYRD's WIFE AVOIDS
 SHARE IF PUBLICITY
 WITH FL|ER HUSBAND

BOSTON, Aug. 19. (P)-The spot light of public attention has sought in vain to focus on Mrs. Richard E. Bryd, wife of the intrepid naval avi- ator.
 Although Lieutenant-Commander Bryd recognizes her as a full-fledged partner in his aeronautic ashieye- ments, she refuses to take public share in his glory and declines to al- low herself or her four children to be exploited,
 When her husband smade his sue cessful flight over the North Pole in 1926, Mrs. Byrd went nto the coun- try, keeping her address secret. After seeing her husband off on his Transatlantic flight she went into seclusion at her home here.
 When she went to New York to meet her husband on his return from his polar and transatlantic flights, she remained in the background.
 But while Mrs, Bryd has sought no share in the honor that has been heaped upon her husband, Comman- der Bryd himself, after his flight to France paid deep tribute to her and to his mother as full partners in his adventures.
