Thanks,  Ron.  Do you have a source?



Not the kind of source you are seeking. I had access to U.S. Army  
Quartermaster Corps records from U.S. Army Fort Rosecrans. Those included status  
reports on the condition and repair of buildings on the base. Among those  records 
were memos from the carpenter's shop and complaints about the "white"  wood 
being included among the older higher grade wood. They really complained in  1945 
about the "finish cut" wood that had smaller dimensions. I no longer have  
those records, as they went to Navy Region Southwest during the closure of local 
 environmental offices in 1999.
