Aer Lingus Group has asked chief executive Michael Foley to stay away from office while it tries to sort out complaints of sexual harassment against him; Irish news media says internal disciplinary committee suspended Foley last week by advising him not to report for work until issue is resolved, and he has complied; Foley has told Irish reporters that preliminary findings are inconsistent and unfair to him, but has not provided specifics; Foley, in eight months as chief executive, has been confronted with soaring fuel costs, sputtering labor dispute that has grounded planes for almost five days, and swoon in reservations of more than 10 percent because of worries about foot-and-mouth disease; photo (M)

European economy shows troubling new signs of slower growth and faster inflation, helping drive down value of euro to 85.7 cents, lowest level this year against dollar; bad news comes from Germany and France, reinforcing impression that 12-nation euro zone is much less insulated from American slowdown than many leaders had asserted; global demand for European goods is significantly weaker than most experts had predicted; Germany reports economic growth in first quarter slowed to annual rate of 1.6 percent; data from five German states suggest that consumer prices are climbing at more than 3 percent per year, much faster than upper limit set by European Central Bank; France reports economy grew at annualized rate of about 2 percent in first quarter (M)

House votes, 384 to 45, for bill that would reshape federal government's role in education by requiring states to conduct annual math and reading tests for students in grades three to eight and holding accountable those schools that fail to make progress; children in troubled schools would be given new options, including transferring to other public schools and using federal money for private tutoring; schools that fail consistently could ultimately be shut down; bill calls for 29 percent increase in spending to $24 billion for next year; measure was written by bipartisan coalition, using Pres Bush's plan as blueprint; its overwhelming passage is major legislative victory for him on one of his chief campaign pledges; photo (M)
