But Curtis Sliwa, founder of the civilian anticrime patrol, said he was ''not satisfied'' by the FBI's announcement that it would conduct an inquiry and intends to lead a march from Trenton to Washington today (Thursday) to press for a Justice Department investigation.

Police said Mr. Melvin was shot because the officer believed the Angel was threatening his partner. But the Angels have said the shooting was a ''cold murder.''
