Havana UP) Fidel Castro's supporters tied up Cuba yesterday with a one hour general strike called to support demands that he come back and be premier.

Yesterday's work stoppage, called by the million-member Cuban- Workers Confederation (CTC), was part of a great buildup for Castro.

He insisted his resignation does not mean Cuba's social revolution is over or that he is going back on his principles. He hinted that he quit to prevent his enemies from branding him a tyrant.

Then he said the people must decide whether they want him back. Thousands poured into the streets of Havana a few hours later to demonstrate for Castro.
