The Rev. George M. Docherty, who started the effort to get “under God” inserted in the Pledge of Allegance passed away recently. His obit states that, being from Scotland, he had never heard the Pledge until his kid recited it. Docherty thought that God merited mention and so preached, once with Eisenhower present. Legislation adding it was introduced by a one term repub congressman from Michigan. The repub senator from Michigan, who introduced the bill in that chamber lost his re-election bid that year but a blow against godless communisim was struck.
