In what appeared to be a major victory for the Bendix Corporation, the company announced early today that it had purchased a controlling interest in the Martin Marietta Corporation. The 1 A.M. announcement followed by a few hours a decision by a Federal appeals court in Baltimore to permit Bendix to proceed with its offer to buy 51 percent of Marietta's outstanding stock. Marietta shareholders who had offered their stock to Bendix had until midnight last night to withdraw their shares. Will Take 70% of Shares In a lengthy statement, Bendix said it had purchased all of the shares already tendered to it by Marietta stockholders as of midnight, and that it intended to purchase up to 70 percent of Marietta shares on a first-come, first-served basis if any were offered after that deadline. Based on prior Bendix announcements, the company got an estimated 58 percent of Marietta shares in response to its offer to pay $48 a share for a 51 percent interest.

Bendix was cleared to purchase Martin Marietta's stock after a Federal appeals court overturned a lower court judge's 10-day freeze in the three-way takeover battle involving Bendix, Marietta and United Technologies.

''Women of the Americas: Emerging Perspectives'' is an exhibition of art work by women from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia and the United States. These are artists, according to the show's curators, ''who have achieved prominence without the sterotypical notion of distinctly feminist if separatist art.'' The exhibition is showing at two sites - at the Center for Inter-American Relations, 680 Park Avenue, at 68th Street (noon to 6 P.M., except Monday), and the Kouros Gallery, 831 Madison Avenue, at 69th Street (10 A.M. to 6 P.M., except Sunday and Monday). Admission is free. For more information, call the center: 249-8950.
