During an interview which the reporter
for The Times sought with him this morn
ing he declared that he is willing to sub
nit the choice of the vaccine virus to
be used here to the decision CT any COM
retent and recognized authority. There
is, he declared a controversy as to the
best form of virus. The form in which he
has been using it is modern and up-to-
good results But there are advocates OF
the old New England method-that of an
ivory point-who maintain that it is the
more effective. Dr. Newbill declares he
has no choice, but for the best. He be-
lieves the glycerized vaccine lymph her
metically sealed in the small glass tubes,
che of which is used In each operation,
t. be the best, and, therefore. he has
heen using them. If, however, some COM
petent authority will be found to declare
that it is not the best, he will not at
tempt to maintain his position against
majority or such an authority. All he
wishes is a pure, reliable, effective pro-
lection against smallpox.
