An-gelo. to take his oath of office as a U. S. Senator on Jan. 3.

His term does not expire until noon Jan. 21, when he will be succeeded by his Attorney General, James H. Duff, of Carnegie. If he should decide to step aside In order to be present in Washington when the 80th Congress organizes, John C. Bell, of Wynnewood, would be Governor until Mr.

Dull is inaugurated. Intends to Finish Term Several weeks ago Mr. Martin said that barring developments he intends to serve out his term and then go to Washington to take his seat in the Senate. Since then, however, GOP leaders in Washington have urged Mr. Martin to take his oath at the first meeting of the new Senate.

Mr. Martin has not indicated whether he will yield to this pressure but friends said he might, particularly since he has been mentioned as a possible member of the powerful Senate Finance Committee.
