    The Ultraluminous IRAS galaxies (ULIRGs) have been found that nearly
    all galaxies have merging nuclei. Sanders et al.(1988) proposed the
    evolutionary scenario that ULIRGs evolve into QSOs. If it is real,
    these galaxies would FIR color-evolution from "Blackbody-like" to
    "Power-Law" spectram.  According to this point of view, we selected
    the four luminous merging galaxies from the IRAS database, that have
    intermediate FIR color between "Blackbody-like" and "Power-Law" spec-
    tram. These galaxies have all compact radio core, and AGN-like charac
    teristics by other wavelength observations. If "ASCA" will detect
    hard, nonthermal X-ray emission in these galaxies, it will be first
    discovery of post merging-Starburst galaxies evolving into AGN.
