This 1963 issue of Popular Science magazine would have the copyright renewed in 1991. 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 1978 and later show no renewal entries for Popular Science. Therefore the copyright was not renewed and it is in the public domain.
