These are the articles you want. The second is in German, but likely easier to find in the library.

Westphal, O., and K. Jann. 1965. Bacterial lipopolysaccharides:
extraction with phenol-water and further
applications of the procedure, p. 83-91. In R. L.
Whistler and M. L. Wolfrom (ed.), Methods in carbohydrate

Westphal, O., and 0. Liideritz. 1954. Chemische Erforschung
von Lipopolysacchariden gram negative Bakteriaen.
Angew Chem. 66:407-417.

This is an easy article to get, which (unforunately for you) simply refers to the Westphal articles.
