The authors present 6 cm VLA D-array observations of five IRAS "blank field" sources. Unresolved radio sources have been detected coincident with galaxies found in the fields by Aaronson and Olszewski (1984). Of the three candidate galaxy identifications for 0413+122 by Aaronson and Olszewski, only one is a radio source, and the authors suggest that it is the correct identification for the IRAS source. Also, based on their radio data and an improved IRAS position, the authors have determined the true identification of the infrared source 0404+101. For these galaxies, the correct νFν(80μ)/νFν(0.45μ) ratio ranges up to 250 with the far-infrared radiation presumably being thermal emission from dust grains. The primary energy sources could hypothetically be intense starbursts.
