In the early 1970s, when he was a vice president of the International Mathematical Union, he became embroiled in a battle with the organization's other vice president, L . S . Pontrjagin of the Soviet Union, over that nation's refusal to allow many of its mathematicians, mostly Jews, to address or even attend meetings of the International Congress of Mathematicians.
