Its governing board was composed of: Luis Muñoz Marin (President); General Vice-presidents: Francisco Susorri (father), Rodolfo Ramirez Pabon, Ernesto Ramos Antonini, Librada R. Vda de Ramos; District-based Vice-presidents: Manuel A. Garcia Mendez (Aguadilla), Juan Davila Diaz (Arecibo), Enrique Manrique (Guayama), Rafael Calderon (Humacao), Santiago M.
