Gen, Odd Bull, chief of staff of the United Nations Supervisory Organization, will again take up the matter of Israelis still held in Syria, it was disclosed today. He will do so at Israel’s request. Israeli Foreign Ministry officials discussed the problem yesterday with Gen. Bull.

Five Israeli Jews and two Israeli Arabs are known to be held by the Syrians despite a statement by Syrian authorities, a year ago in an exchange of prisoners, that all Israelis had been released.
