We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

334 \(\Rightarrow\) 309
given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication Reference
334 \(\Rightarrow\) 67 clear
67 \(\Rightarrow\) 52 Independence of the prime ideal theorem from the Hahn Banach theorem, Pincus, D. 1972b, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.
52 \(\Rightarrow\) 309 The Hahn-Banach theorem implies the Banach-Tarski paradox, Pawlikowski, J. 1991, Fund. Math.

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

Howard-Rubin Number Statement
334:

\(MC(\infty,\infty,\hbox{ even})\): For every set \(X\) of  sets such that for all \(x\in X\), \(|x|\ge 2\), there is a function \(f\) such that  for every \(x\in X\), \(f(x)\) is a finite, non-empty subset of \(x\) and \(|f(x)|\) is even.

67:

\(MC(\infty,\infty)\) \((MC)\), The Axiom of Multiple Choice: For every set \(M\) of non-empty sets there is a function \(f\) such that \((\forall x\in M)(\emptyset\neq f(x)\subseteq x\) and \(f(x)\) is finite).

52:

Hahn-Banach Theorem:  If \(V\) is a real vector space and \(p: V \rightarrow {\Bbb R}\) satisfies \(p(x+y) \le p(x) + p(y)\) and \((\forall t > 0)( p(tx) = tp(x) )\) and \(S\) is a subspace of \(V\) and \(f:S \rightarrow {\Bbb R}\) is linear and satisfies \((\forall  x \in S)( f(x) \le  p(x) )\) then \(f\) can be extended to \(f^{*} : V \rightarrow {\Bbb R}\) such that \(f^{*}\) is linear and \((\forall x \in V)(f^{*}(x) \le p(x))\).

309:

The Banach-Tarski Paradox: There are three finite partitions \(\{P_1,\ldots\), \(P_n\}\), \(\{Q_1,\ldots,Q_r\}\) and \(\{S_1,\ldots,S_n, T_1,\ldots,T_r\}\) of \(B^3 = \{x\in {\Bbb R}^3 : |x| \le 1\}\) such that \(P_i\) is congruent to \(S_i\) for \(1\le i\le n\) and \(Q_i\) is congruent to \(T_i\) for \(1\le i\le r\).
