We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

68 \(\Rightarrow\) 178-n-N
given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication Reference
68 \(\Rightarrow\) 62 Subgroups of a free group and the axiom of choice, Howard, P. 1985, J. Symbolic Logic
62 \(\Rightarrow\) 178-n-N clear

Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:

Howard-Rubin Number Statement
68:

Nielsen-Schreier Theorem: Every subgroup of a free group is free.  Jech [1973b], p 12.

62:

\(C(\infty,< \aleph_{0})\):  Every set of non-empty finite  sets  has  a choice function.

178-n-N:

If  \(n\in\omega\), \(n\ge 2\) and \(N \subseteq \{ 1, 2, \ldots , n-1 \}\), \(N \neq\emptyset\), \(MC(\infty,n, N)\):  If \(X\) is any set of \(n\)-element sets then  there is  a function \(f\) with domain \(X\) such that for all \(A\in X\), \(f(A)\subseteq A\) and \(|f(A)|\in N\).
