THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR SUNDAY, AUGUST 1 7, 1 997 C9 Nusrat Ali Khan, famed Pakistani singer Obituaries MARION COUNTY Ralph L. Helms headed GOP in Howard County 16 years nium. The distinctive style is known as qawwali. In recent years, he gained a following in the West. He performed in the United States and recorded duets with Eddie Vedder on the soundtrack to Dead Man Walking.

Other Western musicians, such as Joan Osborne, Peter Gabriel and Jeff Buckley, praised his work. Khan once said singing before Pakistani and U.S. audiences was vastly different, but he enjoyed both because he wanted "everybody In the world to listen to my music." "In Pakistan, when I sing, people understand my language, what I'm talking about and where I'm going to go with my music," he said. "In America, people listen to me because of my voice and its fluidity." Khan was born in Faisalabad, in Pakistan's eastern Punjab province. His father, also a prominent qawwali singer, originally discouraged his son from the profession.

In recent years, traditionalists and qawwali purists criticized Khan's cross-over work. Khan was married and has a daughter.

She said the singer, who suffered from liver and weight problems, was rushed to the hospital directly from the airport and suffered cardiac arrest Saturday. Khan recorded dozens of cassettes In Pakistan, where he enjoyed a huge following that spanned generations.

Wardenburg III, a career Du Pont executive who interrupted his life as a staid businessman to Jounce off across Europe behind advancing Allied troops on a top-secret mission In the waning days of World War II, died Aug. 10 at a nursing home in Scottsdale, Ariz. He was 92. By rights, Wardenburg should not have been In a war zone, dodging bombs, ducking bullets and penetrating enemy lines to find and interrogate German nuclear scientists. Then again, he should not have been liberating wine cellars and having drinks with Marlene Dietrich In the Rltz bar in Paris, either.

By 1944. Wardenburg, a 1927 Princeton graduate, was well above draft age, a 39-year-old family man living in Wilmington, and working for E.I. Du Pont de Nemours Co. He might have never left If he had not made certain choices: majoring in electrical engineering in college, mastering French and picking up a working knowledge of German during prewar business trips to Europe. As a result, when Ma).

Gen. Leslie R. Groves, the head of the Manhattan Project, which worked on the atomic bomb, asked Du Pont if It had someone with a scientific background who spoke French and German, Wardenburg was on his way to war. Half a century after the Hiroshima bombing. It Is hard to Imagine a time when no one lived In fear of nuclear weapons except for a small cadre of American scientists, military men and high government officials familiar with the nation's race to produce the atom bomb.

Every hot breakthrough that brought them closer to a bomb made them that much more chillingly aware that the Germans must be even closer. Indeed one German scientist, Otto Hahn, had discovered the principle of nuclear fission in 1938: another had published the first paper on the theory of the chain reaction, and a third, Werner Heisenberg, the renowned scientist and 1932 Nobel Prize winner, was known to be directing an all-out German nuclear effort. It was against that grim backdrop that the need to find out Just how close the Germans were to making an atomic bomb became an overriding obsession of American military leaders, especially after the success of the Normandy Invasion In June 1944 made It more likely that the Germans would speed up their efforts.

Using the surprisingly suggestive code name of Alsos Greek for grove the small, elite unit was under the Joint command of Col. Boris T.

Wardenburg, who joined the group In October, was one of the few members of Alsos who knew its purpose For Wardenburg, whose natural-reserve eased in the company of "the warm, high-spirited Goudsmit, those were heady times: gala evenings at the Rltz followed by grueling Jeep rides over rutted roads to Inspect captured laboratories under enemy artillery fire, sometimes with the added thrllUof "capturing" German scientists, generally by simply walking into their offices, where they would greet Goudsmit as an old friend. It was while Wardenburg and Goudsmit were reading a pile of old letters, memorandums and other documents In Strasbourg in December 1944, that they made a crucial discovery. As Goudsmit recalled In his 1947 book Alsos, "We both let out a yell at the same moment." For as the papers made abundantly If Inadvertently clear, the vaunted German scientists were not only: not on the verge of a nuclear breakthrough, they had stumbled out of the starting gate and staggered off in th( wrong direction.
