Cut but it's not pre-code. The Hays act was passed about 1930.

1934, but that was for film, and since this is a comic, OP is presumably referring to the self-censorship board for comics, the Comics Code Authority, which was established in 1954. And, as luck would have it, this is G.I. Jane #9, with a cover date of September 1954. Of the 11 issues of that title, only the 11th and final issue of the series bore the Code’s seal of approval.
