Quote: WASHINGTON, Dec. 14— An Army board of review has concluded that a Jewish veteran of World War II should not receive a Medal of Honor that was denied him in 1945 because of what his advocates say was anti-Semitism by a senior officer.

Pentagon and Congressional officials said the medal would not be given to the veteran, David S. Rubitsky, barring a last-minute reversal by the Secretary of the Army, Michael P. W. Stone, whose decision is to be announced Friday. Mr. Rubitsky is a 72-year-old retired merchant seaman who is said to have killed more than 500 Japanese soldiers singlehandedly in one battle.

In an interview, Mr. Rubitsky said Gen. William J. Meehan 2d, the officer in charge of the Army's investigation. telephoned him at his home in Milton, Wis., tonight, to tell him he would not be awarded the medal. 'My Country Has Let Me Down'

''My country has let me down,'' he said. ''I could have run out there in the jungle. Now the country has turned its back on me.''

Officials said the review board had been stymied by an absence of official records, the deaths of witnesses over the years and the failing memories of those who survived the campaign in the jungles of New Guinea more than 45 years ago. ''It's a tough case to reconstruct,'' a Congressional aide said.

Perhaps most difficult, the officials said, is believing that one soldier had killed more than 500 of the enemy by himself. The largest number on record for World War II by an American was 75 Japanese soldiers killed by one marine on Iwo Jima in 1945.

Although Mr. Rubitsky, then a sergeant in the 32d Division, was said to have been armed with a machine gun, an automatic rifle and a carbine, the officials said he could fire only one at a time and would have needed great quantities of ammunition to kill that many. Also, they said, the Japanese would have been firing back, which would have forced him to keep his head down and fire inaccurately.

Thus, it would require what one Congressional official called ''a leap of several orders of magnitude'' to believe that Mr. Rubitsky had done what was claimed. On the other hand, they said, it was most likely that Mr. Rubitsky had fought well and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy.

The Medal of Honor is awarded only for gallantry in action at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty.

Mr. Rubitsky said tonight that General Meehan told him Army investigators could not document that Mr. Rubitsky had done what he claimed.

''He was very polite,'' said Katherine Roethe, Mr. Rubitsky's wife. ''He said he was very he sorry he had to be the one to call and tell us.''

She said the general invited the two of them to Washington, where Army officials would offer a fuller explantion. But Mr. Rubitsky said he had no intention of going to Washington, and he accused the Army of ''botching'' the investigation.

During a two-year review of Mr. Rubitsky's action, advocates for him have argued that he was not recommended for the decoration in 1942 because a superior officer, Col. John H. Mott, the division's chief of staff, believed that a Jew should not be given the Medal of Honor.

Mr. Rubitsky's company commander in 1942 was Capt. J. M. Stehling, who later retired as a brigadier general. He said in a recent notarized statement that after the fighting, ''I personally inspected the battle scene and there were more than 500 Japanese killed or wounded by the actions of Sergeant Rubitsky,'' adding, ''His action was heroic, and he should receive the Medal of Honor.''

In an affidavit in 1987, Mr. Stehling said he had recommended Sergeant Rubitsky for the medal, ''but nothing came of it, the reason being the religion of Sergeant Rubitsky.''

The Army also has a statement from Herbert A. Smith, a retired major general who commanded Mr. Rubitsky's battalion in 1942. General Smith, who died three months ago, said he passed the recommendation to Colonel Mott but ''Colonel Mott's answer was, 'You mean a Jew for the Congressional Medal of Honor?' ''

Then, Mr. Smith recalled, Colonel Mott ''just laughed and walked away.'' Colonel Mott is now dead. Pentagon Review of Bias The Army's review of Mr. Rubitsky's case comes at a time when the Defense Department is looking at the possibility that discrimination may have denied the Medal of Honor to some soldiers in both world wars. Of 295 awarded in World War II, none went to black soldiers, the Pentagon has said. Only two were given to Jews, according to the Jewish War Veterans of America.

Another piece of evidence considered in Mr. Rubitsky's case was a handwritten message discovered a few months ago on the back of a yellowing photograph that had been removed from the body of a Japanese officer 47 years ago. He wrote that he would commit suicide to atone for sending men into a battle in which ''600 fine Japanese soldiers died because of a solitary American soldier.''

I was so deeply disturbed by this George Gollin and his purported blatant posting pertaining to the UK institutions that were meant to appear as if they were fake or not properly registered, I felt rather compelled to write.

I was so disturbed, that our firm contacted an investigator to research the subject, as well as the person (George Gollin) that originally posted it.

Our findings is that this George Gollin purposely posted it, and under the similar pretense of the US Saying, "They are all guilty, and let God sort out the good ones" or something to that effect. In other words, he has no regard for innocent people or their families or their livelihood, even if innocent.

We were also informed that this George Gollin is sponsored by the University of Illinois in Urbana, and that they push him to publish much information that is not verified. We also hear that he has done a lot to deter many illegal operations, but that he rather enjoys posting anything heard, or simply here-say pertaining to many innocent people and institutions.

I thought about contacting this person directly, but was told that he has endless resources and sponsorship to print lies about anyone he chooses, and then uses the laws of the United States of America, and the University of Illinois to protect him.

We had heard that he knew there were many recognized schools on the list, but he wanted the credit of posting the list first, then invented the fictional character he met at one of his meetings to cover his actions when found out.

Another one of our sources had found this statement published in one of the UK Newsletters. "We notice with concern that many approved Colleges are included in a list posted by a George Gollin on a blog called, "The Degree Discussion in the USA."

Several of these colleges are accredited by the Accreditation Service for International Colleges http://www.asic.org.uk The ASIC is one of only two private college accreditation bodies that are recognized by the Government of the United Kingdom.

See how evidence magically pops up just at the right place and moment?

Gollum shouldn't be writing books, he should be reading them. Something like "Accreditation for Dummies."
