This 1931 issue of Radio News magazine would have the copyright renewed in 1959. Online page scans of the Catalog of Copyright Entries, published by the US Copyright Office can be found here. Search of the Renewals for Periodicals for 1958, 1959, and 1960 show no renewal entries for Radio News. Therefore the copyright was not renewed and it is in the public domain.
