ANCHORAGE, (P "A federal grand jury has given a clean bill to Archie L. Brown, who resigned last May as deputy collector of taxes here, and expressed regret over his embarrassment and dis comfort"
 The jury described his reSigna- ton as the loss of an efficient public servant"
 Brown never was charged with any offense, but he resigned after Atty. Gen. J. Gerald Williams called for a grand jury probe into his office accounts.
 The jury addressed a letter to Brown in which it said there was no evidence of alleged irregulari- ties"
 "On the contrary" the unique letter continued, i've wish to com mend you on your industry and efforts on behalf of the Territorial department of taxation and com pliment you upon the fact that af- ter your having handled over a million dollars of Territorial mon- ies, the final audit indicated ev- erything'is is in order.
 eve regret that you underwent embarrassment and discomfort in the community by virtue of pub licity indicating that you were guilty of some criminal charge"
