Also included is a copy of Kaub's book, Communist-Socialist Propaganda in Our Schools; a book featuring criticism of Kaub and the ACCL by Ralph Lord Roy titled Apostles of Discord; four of the Council's cash books; and a travel diary written by Kaub's daughter Shirley Jean during a trip to Europe in 1954.
