NEW YORK l The Coast Guard starts an inquiry today into the collision of a small tanker and a 33-foot cabin cruiser in the busy East River. One woman died and five persons were rescued in the crash off 51st Street. The 180-foot tanker M. J. Derby II knifed into the cabin cruiser in view of thousands of New Yorkers. The tanker, whose crew appar ently was unaware of the colli sion, carried the small boat pinned to its prow for nearly 100 yards. The cruiser then slipped free and was swamped in the swirling water. The six occupants of the cruis er, all New Yorkers, were pitched into the river. One of those picked up, Mrs. Ruth Nettles, 27, failed to respond to artificial respiration and was pronounced dead an hour after Ihe accident.

"The tanker plowed right into us, he said. It rammed us in the stern.' He said he did not see the tanker. The Coast Guard said the tank er captain, Kristian L. Hogeslol, told them he did not know his ship had struck the cruiser until he heard shouts from the crowds on the shore.
