1Opinion of the Court
CLARK, Circuit Judge:
This is an appeal by the taxpayer, Chester I. George, from a district court order granting the government’s motion for directed verdict. The district court found that George was a “responsible person” within the meaning of § 6672 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 who willfully failed to collect or pay over to the United States government the federal employment taxes withheld from employees’ paychecks. We reverse the district court order because we find that the issue of George’s willfulness should have been decided by the jury.
